through the development of technologies for renewable energy generation and high …

The development of low-carbon binders has been recognized as a means of reducing the
carbon footprint of the Portland cement industry, in response to growing global concerns …

Thermodynamic modelling can reliably predict hydrated cement phase assemblages and
chemical compositions, including their interactions with prevailing service environments …

Alkali-activated materials (AAM) are recognized as potential alternatives to ordinary Portland
cement (OPC) in order to limit CO 2 emissions as well as beneficiate several wastes into …

Alkali-activated slag (AAS with type of slag being blast-furnace slag) binders possesses
substantially different hydration mechanisms from Portland cement (PC) binders, leading to …

Early-age reaction kinetics of geopolymers is one of the challenging issues associated to
their mechanical performances and durability. In this work, the early-age reaction of …

Alkali activation is a highly active and rapidly developing field of activity in the global
research and development community. Commercial-scale deployment of alkali-activated …

The manufacturing of geopolymers and alkali-activated materials for precast and cast in-situ
construction applications could be achieved using suitable production techniques, such as …

This paper investigates the effect of KOH and NaOH on CSH structure and solubility. Both
KOH and NaOH have a similar effect, they increase pH values and silicon concentrations …

This study presents a comprehensive experimental investigation on the fracture properties of
hardened alkali-activated slag/fly ash (AASF) pastes in relation to the microstructure …
