Alkali-activated materials are a new class of compounds that have been studied by several
authors worldwide. Alkali-activated binders can be competitive alternatives to traditional …

A state-of-the-art review of advances in alkali activated slag (AAS) with respect to its
behaviour is presented. The need for sustainable development of AAS, and factors that …

The growing concern about global climate change and its adverse impacts on societies is
putting severe pressure on the construction industry as one of the largest producers of …

A full understanding of the workability and unconfined compressive strength (UCS) of
cemented paste backfill (CPB), made of alkali-activated slag (AAS) as an alternative binder …

The use of calcium oxide (CaO) demonstrates a superior potential for the activation of
ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBFS), and it produces a higher mechanical …

This study investigates the use of carbide slag (CS), an industrial by-product generated in
acetylene production, as a potential alternative to hydrated lime (HL) for activation of ground …

The development of new binders, as an alternative to Portland cement (PC), by alkaline
activation, is a current researchers interest. Alkali-activated slag (AAS) binder is obtained by …

Fly ash sourced from Sarawak, Borneo was alkali-activated by a combination of alkali
hydroxides (ie NaOH, KOH or Ca (OH) 2) and sodium silicate (ie industrial or commercial …

As the raw material of geopolymer, F-class fly ash (FFA) often needs strong alkali such as
NaOH to stimulate due to its low reactivity. In this study, FFA was refined and activated by a …

Ground granulated blastfurnace slag (GGBS) is widely used as a partial replacement for
Portland cement or as the major component in the alkali-activated cement to give a clinker …
