Future perspectives for alkali‐activated materials: from existing standards to structural applications

The production of cement and concrete contributes significantly to global greenhouse gas emissions. Alkali‐activated concretes (AACs) are a family of existing alternative construction materials that could reduce the current environmental impact of Portland cement (PC) production and utilisation. Successful applications of AACs can be found in...

A review: The strength influence factors of slag and fly ash based alkali activated materials

Alkali-activated materials(AAM) are known to be environmentally friendly alternatives to cement-based materials because they can potentially reduce greenhouse gas emissions and reutilize industrial by-products. However, the application of AAM is still limited by the lack of mixture design regulation. Unlike cement, the very different chemical...
