In the present study, the early-age reaction process of alkali-activated slag (AAS) pastes was
in-situ monitored by using embedded piezoelectric transducer based ultrasonic monitoring …

The carbonation action in concrete, in which carbonation reactions transform calcium
hydroxide into calcium carbonate, is considered as a multi-phase physico-chemical process …

This study aims to investigate durability and microstructure of fluidized bed fly ash and
metakaolin based geopolymer exposed to elevated temperatures and acid attack …

Limestone-calcined clay cement (LC 3) is a promising cementitious material for the future;
however, it poses the problem of low strength in the early stage, which has not yet been …
