Activation of slag through a combination of NaOH/NaS alkali for transforming it into geopolymer slag binder mortar – assessment the effects of two different Blaine fines and three different curing conditions

A Comprehensive Performance Evaluation of GGBS-Based Geopolymer Concrete Activated by a Rice Husk Ash-Synthesised Sodium Silicate Solution and Sodium Hydroxide

“…This decreasing trend in slump values is typically associated with a reduction in activator (liquid) content [26,27]. This reduction in activator content can lead to higher friction between dry material particles, resulting in a stickier system and, consequently, reduced overall consistency [27,28].…”

A comprehensive study on engineering and sustainability characteristics with emphasizing on 3R's approach in building construction

“…GPs can be made using a variety of mineral and industrial by-products, including metakaolin, FA, and GGBFS, bagasse ash, bottom ash, rice husk ash, and pond ash [ [21] , [22] , [23] , [24] , [25] , [26] , [27] , [28] , [29] ]. GPs have a low-carbon footprint and hence serve as a sustainable alternative to traditional concrete [ [30] , [31] , [32] , [33] ].…”

Analyzing the mechanical performance of fly ash-based geopolymer concrete with different machine learning techniques

“…Portland cement (PC), the most frequently used cementitious material for concrete worldwide, is associated with a large energy consumption and heavy carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions due to the procedures involved in its production. About 4 billion tons of CO2 are emitted by PC production every year, accounting for 5-7% of total anthropogenic CO2 emissions [1][2][3][4]. Owing to the increasing concerns for environmental protection and climate change, many initiatives have been taken to reduce impacts associated with cement production and use.…”
