Durability of mortar and concrete containing alkali-activated binder with pozzolans: A review (2015, background): “On the other hand, Chen and Brouwers [47] concluded that the AAS binder contains a greater gel porosity (formed C–S–H gel during hydration) compared to OPC binder and maximum pores observed were gel pores for hardened AAS binder.”
Shrinkage characteristics of alkali-activated slag cements (2015, background): “(2012) and Chen and Brouwers (2007). If these values can be trusted, the chemical shrinkage of AAS binders is considerably larger than that of OPC (0.”
Shrinkage compensation of alkali-activated slag concrete and microstructural analysis (2014, background): “The microstructure and development of mechanical properties are remarkably different from the Portland cement concrete, noted by the absence of portlandite in the hydration products and rapid strength development during early ages [17,18].”
Very early-age reaction kinetics and microstructural development in alkali-activated slag (2015, background): “The type and composition of the slag may also be a factor in determining the microstructural development and product formation during the activation process [30—34].”
