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 …

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 for concrete composites are emerging as the available low-
embodied-carbon alternatives to ordinary Portland cement (OPC). Despite decades of …

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

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 …

Alkali-activated materials (AAMs) are usually recognized having better acid resistance
compared to ordinary Portland cement (OPC), however, the detailed mechanism has not …

One-part geopolymers attract wide interests due to their much lower CO 2 emissions and
similar practice as ordinary Portland cements (OPC), that is “just add water”, instead of …

Alkali-activated materials (AAMs) are regarded as promising alternatives to Portland cement.
However, the significant high shrinkage of AAMs, particularly in alkali-activated slag system …

Geopolymer and related chemically activated materials are more sustainable
aluminosilicate cementitious materials that have less natural materials consumption and CO …

For concrete with low water-to-binder ratio, the autogenous shrinkage often takes up most of
the total shrinkage. In restrained structures, this kind of shrinkage will produce tensile stress …
