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 comparative assessment of alkali-activated stabilisers including waste materials, for the treatment of swelling-shrinking soils
(Corresponding) Mavroulidou M., Gray C., Gunn M.
Topic:
Solid waste management
Swelling-shrinking soils (also known as expansive soils) experience very considerable volume changes upon changes in moisture content, thus causing major damages to lightweight structures, pavements, slopes and utilities. To counteract this problem chemical stabilisation of this type of soil with...Read more

Properties of dry hydraulic road binder mixture with additional component of cement bypass dust
(Corresponding) Stevulova N., Junak J., Strigac J., Terpakova E.
Topic:
Solid waste management
This paper is aimed at properties characterization of a designed binder mixture containing cement, fine natural limestone, cement bypass dust (BPD), and ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBS) with an emphasis on a potential utilization of BPD into a normal hardening hydraulic road binder in...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
