Alkali activation is a highly active and rapidly developing field of activity in the global
research and development community. Commercial-scale deployment of alkali-activated …

With the rapid development of alkali-activated concrete (AAC) as a promising sustainable
concrete, it is vital to thoroughly understand the microstructural characteristics and …

In many civil engineering constructions, soft and weak soils are often stabilized with ordinary
Portland cement (OPC) and lime. The production processes of traditional stabilizers are …

Current demand for highly sustainable concrete, eg alkali-activated fly ash-slag (AAFS)
concrete, urges understanding the links between microstructure and micromechanical …

In this study, the autogenous and drying shrinkage of alkali activated fly ash (AAFA) pastes
prepared with different contents of sodium silicate solution are reported. A higher amount of …

Alkali-activation of fly ash together with an aluminum powder blowing agent led to the
synthesis of inorganic fly ash-based foam (FAF). The FAF is characterized by means of its …

This paper represents a critical review on alkali-activated materials (AAM) containing
organics with high homogeneity at nano-scale (< 1 μm). Organics including organosilicons …

Despite the significant advances in understanding the structure of geopolymers in the last
decades, the role of water in the geopolymerization of aluminosilicates and within the …

This paper aims to provide a better understanding of autogenous shrinkage of alkali-
activated fly ash-slag (AAFS) pastes at very early age (< 24 h). The autogenous shrinkage of …

The lunar regolith simulant based geopolymer was prepared, and its mechanical and
structural properties under extreme temperature were investigated. Results show 7-day …
