Development of Ambient‐Cured Geopolymer Concrete: Investigating Bottom Ash as a Sustainable Alternative to Natural River Sand

Advances in Materials Science and Engineering, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Portland cement production is a major contributor to global CO2 emissions, and the scarcity of natural river sand limits conventional concrete production. Despite increasing interest in geopolymer concrete (GPC), studies on sustainable, low‐temperature cured GPC using industrial by‐products as fine aggregate replacements are limited.

Mechanical and Physical Performance of Mortars Incorporating Crushed Hazelnut Shells as Partial Fine Aggregate Replacement

Advances in Materials Science and Engineering, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
This study investigates the mechanical and physical properties of mortars incorporating crushed hazelnut shell (HS) as a partial replacement for fine aggregates. Mortar mixtures were prepared with varying water‐to‐cement (w/c) ratios ranging from 0.35 to 0.50 and HS dosages of 2.5%, 5%, and 7.5% by weight, along with reference mixtures without HS.

Enhanced Utilization of Coal Ash in Construction: Physicochemical Properties and Compressive Strength of Blended Cement and Geopolymer Mortar

Advances in Materials Science and Engineering, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
The properties of fly and bottom ashes produced by Morupule power stations in Botswana are analysed for their pozzolanicity. Furthermore, the influence of physical, chemical and microstructural properties of the ashes on the performance of compressive strength of fly ash–based blended cement and geopolymer mortar was evaluated.
