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 …

The thermal cracking of massive concrete, especially for the dam concrete, due to the
complex temperature histories and restraint conditions jeopardizes the structure's safety and …

This study investigates the effectiveness of metakaolin (MK) in mitigating the autogenous
shrinkage of alkali-activated slag (AAS). It is found that the autogenous shrinkage of AAS …

Ever since the early days of Féret (1892) and Abrams (1919), concrete research has
targeted at relating concrete composition to uniaxial compressive strength. While these …

This study aims to investigate the cracking potential of alkali-activated slag (AAS) and alkali-
activated slag-fly ash (AASF) concrete subjected to restrained autogenous shrinkage …

The high autogenous shrinkage of alkali-activated materials made from slag and fly ash is
recognised as a major drawback with regard to the use as construction materials. In this …

This study aims to compare the developments of mechanical properties and autogenous
shrinkage related properties of alkali-activated materials-based concrete (AC) and ordinary …

In this study, a combined approach of several monitoring techniques was applied to allow
correlations between the AE activity and related processes such as shrinkage and …

A recent scientific and industrial interest has been brought to combine multiple
supplementary cementitious materials (SCM) in large quantities in concrete binders. The …

The present work analyses the impact of the substitution of natural coarse gravel and sand
by recycled gravel and sand on the concrete behavior under free and restrained condition …
