Effects of dosage of alkali-activated solution and curing conditions on the properties and durability of alkali-activated slag concrete (2012, background): “Alkali-activated slag (AAS) is receiving increasing attention as an alternative to Portland cement because of its high strength, durability and low environmental impact [1–4].”
Performance of refractory aluminosilicate particle/fiber-reinforced geopolymer composites (2012, background): “Studies assessing the mechanical performance of alkali-activated composites reinforced with polypropylene [25,26], glass [27], carbon [28–32], basalt [33,34], PVA [35], wollastonite [36] and steel [37,38] fibers have been published.”
Shrinkage compensation of alkali-activated slag concrete and microstructural analysis (2014, background): “Though the hydration process of AAS and the properties of AAS concrete have been extensively studied, and high drying shrinkage of the AAS concrete compared to the Portland cement concrete was consistently reported [14–16], researches on compensating the shrinkage of AAS concrete with EA are scarce.”
Use of waste glass in alkali activated cement mortar (2018, background): “A number of studies have demonstrated that the AAC exhibits high compressive strength [4,5], excellent sulphate and seawater resistance [6,7], good performance in the environment of acid corrosion [8,9], good resistance to chloride penetration [10] and freeze–thaw cycles [11,12].”
