Li, Z. (author), Yao, X. (author), Chen, Y. (author), Lu, T. (author), Ye, G. (author)Alkali-activated slag and fly ash (AASF) materials are emerging as promising alternatives to conventional Portland cement. Despite the superior mechanical properties of AASF materials, they are known to show large autogenous shrinkage, which hinders the wide application of these eco-friendly materials in infrastructure. To mitigate the...journal article 2020

Li, Z. (author), Zhang, Shizhe (author), Liang, X. (author), Granja, José (author), Azenha, Miguel (author), Ye, G. (author)This study investigates the influences of internal curing on reducing the autogenous shrinkage of alkali-activated slag/fly ash (AASF) paste. The influences of internal curing with superabsorbent polymers (SAPs) on the reactions and microstructure of AASF paste are investigated. It is found that the SAPs absorb liquid mainly before the...journal article 2020
