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

A single ton of ordinary Portland cement (OPC) demands around 4.0 G Joule energy and
creates about a ton of CO 2 emission. As part of our effort to preserve the environment, the …

The disintegration of concrete structures made of ordinary Portland cement (OPC) is a
worrying topic of increasing significance. The trend for reusing waste products or industrial …

This paper provides a critical review on autogenous shrinkage of alkali-activated slag (AAS).
It is reported that AAS paste, mortar, and concrete generally show larger autogenous …

Research on agricultural wastes management, as a natural resource material, is state of the
art and desirable subject in many engineering subcategories. The benefits include ease of …

This study aims to provide a better understanding of the autogenous shrinkage of slag and
fly ash-based alkali-activated materials (AAMs) cured at ambient temperature. The main …

In this paper, a series of experiments were conducted to systematically and quantitively
explore the effects of control factors on the early age properties, ie, workability and strength …

This research used gene expression programming (GEP) and multi expression
programming (MEP) to determine the compressive strength (CS) of alkali-activated material …

Alkali-activated binders (AAB) have been extensively researched as a potential replacement
of ordinary portland cement (OPC) concrete to minimize carbon emissions released during …

In this study, the effects of water to binder (w/b) ratio on the rheological and fresh state
properties of alkali-activated cement (AAC) pastes have been investigated. A mixture of 50 …
