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

A comparative study of alkali activated slag cement concretes with carbonate and silicate activators.

Sanam I., (Corresponding) Mavroulidou M.

Topic:

Environmental management and policies

Alkali-activated cements are increasingly gaining interest as viable alternatives to Portland cement, because they are considerably reducing CO2 emissions compared to traditional Portland cements while maintaining or exceeding performance requirements commonly specified for construction...Read more

A study of the properties of alkali activated cement concrete with potassium carbonate activator.

(Corresponding) Mavroulidou M.

Topic:

Net Zero emission transition

Alkali-activated cements (AAC) have recently attracted the vivid interest of the civil engineering industry as promising innovative alternatives to Portland Cement (PC) which is responsible for 8% of anthropogenic CO2 emissions. In this context, this paper studies concrete produced using potassium...Read more
