Enhancing corrosion resistance of RC pipes using geopolymer mixes when subjected to aggressive environment

TL;DR: In this article , the performance of reinforced concrete (RC) pipes is compared with OPC concrete mixtures with two different geopolymer concrete mixes based on different ratios of granulated blast furnace slag (GBFS), fly ash (FA), and pulverized red brick (RB) subjected to three different environments, ambient, tap water and an aggressive environment, and a solution of 10% magnesium sulfates + 5% chloride (MS-CL).

Workability, compressive strength, and microstructures of one-part rubberized geopolymer mortar

TL;DR: In this article , a one-part rubberized geopolymer mortar (ORGM) activated by a solid alkali activator was developed, and an experimental investigation was conducted on the setting time, fluidity, density, and compressive strength, of the ORGM, and the test findings were compared with two-part TRGM, which has a similar functional cost, a more convenient preparation method and a slower polymerization process.
