A study of alkali-activated concrete mixes in seawater environments

Mengasini L., (Corresponding) Mavroulidou M., Gunn M.
Topic: 
Marine environment and coastal management
This paper assesses the performance in seawater environment of concrete mixes based on alkali-activated (AA) cements; these are proposed as an alternative to Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) to address environmental footprint of cement production and to find new uses for waste materials. The proposed...Read more
