Alkali-activated binders (AAB) have been extensively researched as a potential replacement
of ordinary portland cement (OPC) concrete to minimize carbon emissions released during …

This paper describes a review of the state-of-the-art research carried on the fresh and
hardened properties of Alkali Activated Binders and Concretes. Though, many research …

The use of activated alkali cements (AAC) as a replacement for Ordinary Portland cement
(OPC) has become a viable alternative. This is due to the advantages of these materials …

Better understanding of water transport in concrete is of great significance to assess the
durability and predict service life. In this study, effects of water to cement ratio (W/C), volume …

This paper presents the first scientific attempt to develop and study the performance of rice
husk ash (RHA) and ultra-fine slag (UFS) based sustainable geopolymer concrete with …

The current study presents an investigation into the optimal content determination of the mix
parameters in their acceptable ranges through fresh, mechanical, and durability …

A lot of energy is released during the cement manufacturing process, and a large amount of
carbon dioxide (CO2) is discharged into the environment. Presently, researchers are …

In this study, polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) was applied for overall hydrophobic modification
of alkali-activated slag (AAS) mortars aiming to reduce its high water sorptivity. The effects of …

Waste plastics may be an environmentally friendly alternative to natural aggregates for
concrete manufacture. However, the inferior bond strength between waste plastic …

In recent decades, considering environmental issues, partial replacement of Portland
cement with supplementary cementitious material (SCM), namely ground granulated blast …
