Alkali-activated materials (AAM) are known to be environmentally friendly alternatives to
cement-based materials because they can potentially reduce greenhouse gas emissions …

Solid waste-based cementitious materials are low-cost and have the advantages of low
energy consumption and low carbon emissions compared to conventional cement. Tailings …

Although the application of blast furnace slag and fly ash-based alkali-activated concrete
(BFS/FA-AAC) has both economic and environmental benefits, it is limited by the lack of a …

The effectiveness of a self-synthesized CSH-PCE nanocomposite on early strength
development of slag and calcined clay blended cements (35 wt% slag or calcined clay) was …

The hydration heat evolution rate and cumulative hydration heat of composite binder
containing slag, fly ash or quartz powder and the reaction degrees of slag, fly ash and …

This study investigates the reaction kinetics, the reaction products and the compressive
strength of slag activated by ternary activators, namely waterglass, sodium hydroxide and …

A comprehensive investigation was conducted to examine the influence of fly ash/slag mass
ratio on the strength and microstructure of alkali-activated fly ash-slag (AAFS) mortars …

As the soul of cement-based materials, hydration is a complex process involving many
chemical reactions, which is one of the intrinsic driving forces for the evolution of the …

Abstract Properties of concrete depend on the cement degree of hydration. Standard test
methods proposed for quantifying cement degree of hydration employ thermogravimetric …

In this paper, the depolymerization and polycondensation process, compressive strength,
gel content and conductance of an alkali-activated slag (AAS)(an inorganic polymer or high …
