Influence of composition and concentration of alkaline activator on the properties of natural-pozzolan based green concrete

The chemical constituents of precursor materials, the composition and concentration of alkaline activators, volume of free water, and curing conditions are some of the mix design variables that influence the fresh and hardened properties of alkali-activated binders (AABs). To achieve desirable engineering properties and long-term performance of an AAB under various exposure conditions, each of these variables has to be carefully controlled. The...
