Abstract: Abstract In this work, three shrinkage mitigation strategies (i.e. high-temperature curing, sulfate-enrichment, and calcium-enrichment) were evaluated and their effectiveness in mitigating shrinkage of alkali-activated slag (AAS) was studied. The results show that the cause of… read more here.

Abstract: Abstract Inorganic polymer (IP) binder is formed upon alkali-activation of Fe-rich (41 wt%) metallurgical slag leading to materials with mechanical properties comparable to ordinary Portland cement binders. Crack formation is reported in IPs, which can be… read more here.
