Cost-efficient one-part alkali-activated mortars with low global warming potential for floor heating systems applications [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Increasing building energy efficiency is one the most cost-effective ways to reduce emissions. The use of thermal insulation materials mitigates heat loss in buildings, therefore minimising heat energy needs.

Alkali-activated binders: a review: part 2. About materials and binders manufacture [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
This paper summarizes current knowledge about alkali-activated binders, by reviewing previously published work. As it is shown in Part 1, alkali-activated binders have emerged as an alternative to (ordinary Portland cement) OPC binders, which seem to ...

Mechanism of Alkali‐Activated Copper‐Nickel Slag Material [PDF]

open access: yesAdvances in Civil Engineering, 2020
A copper‐nickel slag‐based alkali‐activated cementing material (CNSCM) for backfilling was prepared using copper‐nickel slag as a raw material and sodium silicate (SS) as an activating agent. The effects of SS content (6%, 8%, and 10%) and curing humidity on the compressive strength of CNSCM were investigated using an electronic universal testing ...

Life cycle assessment of alkali-activated materials: a systematic literature review

open access: yesLow-carbon Materials and Green Construction, 2023
The physical–mechanical, chemical, and durability characteristics of alkali-activated materials (AAMs) have been widely investigated. However, a critical gap in the literature is the lack of a comprehensive overview of recently published literature ...

Mechanical performance of glass-based geopolymer matrix composites reinforced with cellulose fibers [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Glass-based geopolymers, incorporating fly ash and borosilicate glass, were processed in conditions of high alkalinity (NaOH 10-13 M). Different formulations (fly ash and borosilicate in mixtures of 70-30 wt% and 30-70 wt%, respectively) and physical ...

Geopolymers and Related Alkali-Activated Materials

open access: yesAnnual Review of Materials Research, 2014
The development of new, sustainable, low-CO2 construction materials is essential if the global construction industry is to reduce the environmental footprint of its activities, which is incurred particularly through the production of Portland cement.

Autoclaving of alkali-activated materials

open access: yesIOP Conference Series: Materials Science and Engineering, 2019
Abstract Alkali-activated materials are amorphous materials that look like natural stone or a concrete structure. As in the case of concrete, on the surface of alkali-activated materials, a white coating appears in the form of efflorescence.

A Concise on the Effect of Calcium Oxide on the Properties of Alkali-Activated Materials: A Manual for Civil Engineers

open access: yesInternational Journal of Concrete Structures and Materials, 2023
As known, calcium oxide (CaO) is an alkaline material, which can be used widely to increase the clay-containing soils load carrying capacity, to produce aerated concrete and calcium aluminate cement.

Creep Differences Between Alkali-Activated Fly Ash–Slag and Cement-Based Materials and Prediction Models

open access: yesBuildings
Alkali-activated fly ash and slag binders are regarded as environmentally friendly building materials. However, the creep properties of the alkali-activated materials differ from ordinary Portland cement-based materials.
