Alkali-activated binders are considered as promising alternatives for ordinary Portland
cement (OPC) binders due to their positive environmental effects and excellent mechanical …

Alkali-activated binders or geopolymers are identified as an ideal substitute for ordinary
Portland cement (OPC) binders because of their outstanding mechanical characteristics and …

The reuse of waste concrete powder (WCP) in the synthesis of alkali-activated binder (AAB)
composites has never been investigated. Herein, this paper reports the study about the …

This paper provides a critical review on autogenous shrinkage of alkali-activated slag (AAS).
It is reported that AAS paste, mortar, and concrete generally show larger autogenous …

This study aims to provide a better understanding of the autogenous shrinkage of slag and
fly ash-based alkali-activated materials (AAMs) cured at ambient temperature. The main …

Autogenous shrinkage of alkali-activated slag cement (AASC) paste prepared with different
levels of alkali dosage and silicate modulus (M s) is investigated. The results show that …

Geopolymers seem to be a good alternative to ordinary Portland cement to reduce the
carbon footprint of the construction industry. However, their durability over time is still a …

Quantitatively optimizing critical factors for geopolymer production and explaining the
interaction effects between each factor are significant for engineering applications. A three …

In this work, the drying shrinkage behavior of geopolymeric recycled aggregate concrete
(GRAC) was studied with attention devoted to the mass loss, drying shrinkage strain, and …

Alkali-activated concrete (AAC) is a promising sustainable alternative to cementitious
materials concerning its environmental benefits and satisfactory engineering properties …
