Alkali-activated materials (AAM) are known to be environmentally friendly alternatives to
cement-based materials because they can potentially reduce greenhouse gas emissions …

This paper provides a comprehensive review of the utilization of industrial wastes in 3D
concrete printing processes. Concrete 3D printing processes are introduced, highlighting the …

In recent years, the construction industry has striven to promote environmentally friendly
materials. A growing body of literature has recognised fly ash-based geopolymers as a …

Cement is the ubiquitous material upon which modern civilisation is built, providing long-
term strength, impermeability and durability for housing and infrastructure. The fundamental …

The effect of the chemical composition of the amorphous and crystalline phases of fly ash on
the compressive strength of fly ash cement mortar was studied. The fly ash cement mortars …

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

Many studies have been published in recent years focusing on the recovery of rare earth
elements (REEs) from coal-related materials, including coal, coal refuse, coal mine …

This paper is a keynote presentation from the 13th International Congress on the Chemistry
of Cement. It discusses the underlying principles of hydration and recent evidence for the …

Chemically activated materials (often termed as geopolymer) have received attracting
attentions in civil, material and environmental research fields as a toolkit alternative to …

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