Vast amounts of rice husk ash (RHA) are generated annually, with most of them unutilized or
disposed to landfills, resulting in serious environmental degradation. To avoid this, the use …

The Alkali-Activated Materials (AAM) are defined as materials obtained through the reaction
between precursors and activators, and are separated into two classes depending on the …

Microscale calcium–silicate–hydrate (C–S–H) is easily accessible and readily storable,
enabling a cleaner production process of cement-waste grinding and simple chemical …

Lateritic soils are abundant materials available around the tropical and sub-tropical areas in
the world. However, due to their chemical and mineralogical complexity, their use in …

In this work, two different laterites (iron contents of 13.07 and 49.34 wt%, respectively, for
lateritic clay, LAC, and iron-rich laterite, LAI) were selected and calcined at 600° C. The …

The geopolymerization reaction is a chemical process involving the dissolution of
amorphous, semi-crystalline and crystalline phases following alkaline or acid attack at …

This paper presents the results of experimental evaluation of curing conditions on the
microstructure and performance of geopolymer binders developed from iron-rich laterite …

The usage of ordinary Portland cement (OPC) in construction has become a great concern
among researchers due to the carbon dioxide (CO 2) emission during production. As …

Geopolymers were developed in this study by using locally available laterite soil as the
aluminosilicate precursor. Rice husk ash (RHA) which is an agricultural waste was …

Geopolymer slurries can be favored to achieve a sustainable approach in prepacked
aggregate concretes. This study presented here investigated experimentally the effect of …
