Alkali-activated slag (AAS with type of slag being blast-furnace slag) binders possesses
substantially different hydration mechanisms from Portland cement (PC) binders, leading to …

Traditional cement and concrete production consumes huge amounts of natural resources
and energy, and has a great impact on the ecological environment. Alkali-activated …

This work investigates the degradation mechanisms of clinkerless alkali-activated slag
based ultra-high strength concrete (AAS-UHSC) upon exposure to high temperatures up to …

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 …

This study presents an analytical investigation based on thermodynamic simulation aimed at
achieving a holistic management of the phase assemblages of alkali-activated materials …

Global warming-induced sea level rise exacerbates the deterioration of maritime structures
