Sun, Yubo (author), Tao, Yaxin (author), Rahul, A. V. (author), Ye, G. (author), De Schutter, Geert (author)The rapid workability loss of alkali-activated materials (AAM) has been a major obstacle limiting its onsite application. In this study, two conventional SPs (made of polynaphthalene sulfonate (PNS) and lignosulfonate (LS) salts), which have been reported to be effective in some specific AAM mixtures were separately applied in alkali...journal article 2022

Sun, Yubo (author), Liu, Zhiyuan (author), Ghorbani, Saeid (author), Ye, G. (author), De Schutter, Geert (author)The present study explores the possibility of replacing blast furnace slag (BFS) with coal fly ash (FA) to produce alkali-activated material (AAM) concrete with hybrid precursors. With an increased FA replacement ratio, the reaction kinetics, fresh and hardened properties of AAM mixtures have been investigated. The retardation effect on the...journal article 2022

Ouyang, Xiaowei (author), Wang, Liquan (author), Xu, Shida (author), Ma, Yuwei (author), Ye, G. (author)Carbonation treatment can effectively improve the performance of recycled concrete aggregate and fines due to the reactions of CO<sub>2</sub> with CH and C–S–H gel of cement paste. To better understand the mechanisms involved in the performance improvement, the surface properties of carbonated recycled cement paste powder (CRP) and its effect...journal article 2020
