Introduction The vast increase in CO2 and waste generation in recent decades has been a
major obstacle to sustainable development and sustainability. In construction industry, the …

Steel slag (SS) is a secondary material from the production of steelmaking with little
commercial value. It has several possible applications as raw material for different industrial …

The construction industry relies heavily on concrete as a building material. The coarse
aggregate makes up a substantial portion of the volume of concrete. However, the continued …

Geopolymer binders have good potential in the repair of existing concrete structures due to
their superior durability and mechanical performances. Understanding the interfacial …

Geopolymer-bonded fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) bar is an emerging strengthening
system for concrete structures, owing to the excellent geopolymer/concrete bond and the …

In this paper, alkali-activated concrete (AAC) mixtures synthesized using five different class
C fly ashes (FAs) were used as a repair material for structures constructed using …

Surface damages usually occur in concrete structures. In order to restore the functions and
prolong the service life of concrete structures, their surface damages should be repaired in …

Self-sensing cementitious materials are an effective method of monitoring existing
infrastructure due to their high durability and high sensing performance. Geopolymers are …

The interaction of the reinforced concrete with chloride-rich environments is a predominant
cause of the corrosion of reinforcing steel, which may result in the appearance of damage …

Nowadays, alkali-activated binders based industrial and agricultural wastes have been
introduced as the environmental friendly materials with high durability performance. We …
