Abstract The use of Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag (GGBFS) as binder for concrete
had been reviewed extensively in previous reviews. However, the influence of various types …

There are many highly variable approaches to mix proportioning of alkali-activated materials
(AAMs), which considerably contribute to their great complexity and often incomparability of …

This paper presents a detailed characterization of cementitious blends containing high
volumes of fly ash, activated using pH-neutral alkali sulfates. It is shown that this …

One of the crucial issues of alkali-activated materials is the application of conventional
plasticizers. Lignosulfonate plasticizer (LS) works well for sodium hydroxide-activated slag …

Two blast furnace slags were activated by alkali hydroxide and alkali silicate solutions
possessing different modulus (0.5, 1 and 2), as well as cations (sodium and potassium) …

This study develops alkali-activated mine tailing (MT)-based binders containing MT as the
major source material and slag (S) as a minor additive, using alkaline activators containing …

The use of waste/by-product materials, such as slag or fly ash, activated using alkaline
agents to create binding materials for construction applications (in lieu of portland cement) is …

Alkali silicate activated slag (AAS) most commonly develops high strength, but is usually
accompanied by fast setting. In this study, slag was activated by a potassium silicate solution …

Sodium silicate solution is usually used as an activating agent of alkali activated material,
but easily cause efflorescence and large expansion. Potassium silicate solution (PSS) has …

This study investigates the relationships between the hydration kinetics of waterglass-
activated slag and the development of its physical-mechanical properties, as well as its color …
