Influence of mix design parameters on reactivity and setting of alkali-activated materials

The mix design of alkali-activated materials (AAMs) is developed by taking into account several interdependent parameters. Therefore, the optimization of these to achieve a robust composition might represent a great challenge. The aim of this study is to investigate and compare the influence of some key parameters on the reactivity and setting...

Setting, Strength, and Autogenous Shrinkage of Alkali-Activated Fly Ash and Slag Pastes: Effect of Slag Content

The engineering properties of alkali activated materials (AAMs) mainly depend on the constituent materials and their mixture proportions. Despite many studies on the characterization of AAMs, guidelines for mixture design of AAMs and their applications in engineering practice are not available. Extensive experimental studies are still necessary...
