Abstract Portland cement manufacture emits 5–7% CO 2, which is responsible for global
warming. Geopolymers minimize CO 2 emission and may be a partial alternative to Portland …

Due to rapid development and urbanization, electricity demand is increasing daily. Coal-
based thermal power plants are one of the major sources of electricity. A by-product of …

One approach to decarbonising the cement and construction industry is to replace Portland
cement systems with lower carbon alternatives that have suitable properties. We show that …

Although the formation of zeolites in geopolymers have been mentioned in many works, a
particular interest in geopolymer-zeolite composites started to increase very recently. Such …

In this paper, an experimental investigation was carried out to study some mechanical and
microstructural characteristics of fly ash based geopolymer mortars reinforced with three …

Recently, the concept of engineered cementitious composites (ECCs) has been extended to
the creation of engineered geopolymer composites (EGCs). Although showing similar …

Portland cement is widely used in the construction industry. Its production contributes to
carbon dioxide emissions, urging the need for sustainable alternatives. The present study …

A large amount of waste coming out from industries has posed a great challenge in its
disposal and effect on the environment. Particularly fly ash, coming out from thermal power …

It is known that studies on lightweight geopolymer using fly ash need more research.
Therefore, in this study, class F fly ash-based lightweight geopolymer mortar samples were …

Abstract In this study, Taguchi-Grey relational analysis was used to investigate and optimize
the effect of ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBS) replacement, water to geopolymer …
