Alkali activated binders are sustainable alternatives to carbon-intensive conventional
Portland cements. Although earlier studies focussed on the mechanical properties of alkali …

This paper reviews the formation and breakdown of passive film on the surface of
reinforcement steel in alkali-activated materials (AAMs) considering the characteristics of …

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 …

The effect of curing conditions (sealed and unsealed) on the pore solution composition and
carbonation resistance of different binary alkali-activated fly ash (FA) and ground granulated …

The engineering properties of alkali activated materials (AAMs) mainly depend on the
constituent materials and their mixture proportions. Despite many studies on the …

Although the application of blast furnace slag and fly ash-based alkali-activated concrete
(BFS/FA-AAC) has both economic and environmental benefits, it is limited by the lack of a …

The aim of this paper was to investigate the effect of natural carbonation on the pore
structure, and elastic modulus (E m) of alkali-activated fly ash (FA) and ground granulated …

The corrosion behaviour of bare and galvanized steel reinforcements in geopolymeric and
cementitious mortars, at three strength classes, has been investigated throughout the curing …

Alkali-activated slag (AAS) suffers from severe performance issues, such as uncontrolled
and rapid setting, unstable rheological behaviour and considerable drying shrinkage. The …

In this paper, carbonation resistance of alkali-activated slag (AAS) pastes exposed to natural
and accelerated conditions up to 1 year was investigated. Two aspects of carbonation …
