The development of low-carbon binders has been recognized as a means of reducing the
carbon footprint of the Portland cement industry, in response to growing global concerns …

Although ordinary Portland cement (OPC) is the main raw material of concrete, its production
pollutes the atmosphere and wastes a large amount of energy, which does not meet the …

The chemical composition and surface properties of reaction products in alkali activated slag
(AAS) are different from ordinary Portland cement, thus significantly affect their chloride …

In this study, the effects of slag/fly ash ratio, Na 2 O concentration, silicate modulus of
activators and water/binder ratio on chloride binding of alkali-activated slag/fly ash cements …

Carbonation of cementitious materials induced by their interaction with atmospheric CO 2 is
one of the main degradation mechanisms threatening their durability. In this study, a novel …

Ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBS) is the most common industrial by-product
used as a precursor for alkali activated binders due to its fast setting, simple curing needs …

In this work, the mechanisms of chloride binding in alkali-activated slag (AAS) pastes are
studied, towards a better understanding of the role of activator composition (ie, NaOH, Na 2 …

This study investigated effects of the sodium chloride on the microstructural and mechanical
properties of alkali activated volcanic ash (VA) and ground granulated blast furnace slag as …

The general transfer properties (water porosity, mercury intrusion porosimetry, water
permeability, capillary absorption, gas permeability and resistivity) and chloride penetration …

Alkali-activated materials are promising low-carbon alternatives to Portland cement;
however, there remains an absence of a fundamental understanding of the effect of different …
