Journal ArticleDOI
Geopolymers and Related Alkali-Activated Materials
John L. Provis,Susan A. Bernal +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the synthesis of alkali-activated binders from blast furnace slag, calcined clay (metakaolin), and fly ash is discussed, including analysis of the chemical reaction mechanisms and binder phase assemblages that control the early-age and hardened properties of these materials.
Journal ArticleDOI
Modification of phase evolution in alkali-activated blast furnace slag by the incorporation of fly ash
Idawati Ismail,Idawati Ismail,Susan A. Bernal,Susan A. Bernal,John L. Provis,John L. Provis,Rackel San Nicolas,Sinin Hamdan,Jannie S.J. van Deventer +8 more
TL;DR: The microstructural evolution of alkali-activated binders based on blast furnace slag, fly ash and their blends during the first six months of sealed curing is assessed in this article.
Journal ArticleDOI
Gel nanostructure in alkali-activated binders based on slag and fly ash, and effects of accelerated carbonation

TL;DR: In this paper, two distinct gels (C-A-S-H and N-A−S−H) are formed in activated fly ash/slag blends, and under accelerated carbonation, the N−A −S −H gel behaves comparably to fly ash-based systems, while the C-A -S -H gel is decalcified similarly to alkali activated slag.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evolution of binder structure in sodium silicate-activated slag-metakaolin blends
TL;DR: In this article, the structural evolution in pastes produced from alkali silicate-activated granulated blast furnace slag (GBFS)/metakaolin (MK) blends is assessed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Supplementary cementitious materials: New sources, characterization, and performance insights
TL;DR: In this paper, a review of emerging supplementary cementitious materials (SCM) sources is presented, along with new developments in characterizing and qualifying SCMs for use and improved knowledge of SCM on long-term concrete performance and durability.
