TL;DR: In this paper, a number of techniques and methods were used to study hydration: compressive strength, thermogravimetric, X-ray diffraction, mercury intrusion porosimetry, backscattered electron imaging, and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR).

TL;DR: In this article, chemical, physical, mineralogical and radiological characterization of olive biomass fly ash and bottom ash (OBBA) was main objective to determine their potential use as alkaline activators in the preparation of alkali-activated materials or geopolymers.

TL;DR: In this paper, a study of the composition and alkali activation of six types of fired ceramic waste with a view to their viability as partial replacements for some of the prime materials used to prepare raw mix for Portland cement is presented.

TL;DR: In this article, the effect of increasing mixing time on the microstructure, mechanical properties, and drying shrinkage of waterglass-activated slag pastes and mortars, as well as on the nature of the respective reaction products was explored.

TL;DR: The RILEM TC 247-DTA "Durability Testing of Alkali-Activated Materials" as discussed by the authors was designed to identify and validate methodologies for testing the durability of alkali-activated concretes.
