The first English-language book which reviews and summarizes worldwide research advances in alkali-activated cements and concrete. Essential topics include:raw materials and their properties for the production of the two new types of binderthe hydration and microstructure development of alkali-activated slag cementsthe mechanical properties and durability of alkali-activated slag cement and concreteother various cementing systems and their applicationsrelated standards and specifications. This respected team of authors has produced an important piece of research that will be of great interest to professionals and academics alike, enabling the production of more durable and environmentally sensitive materials.

This is the first English-language book to review and summarize research in alkali-activated cements and concrete. It includes coverage of new types of binder, hydration and microstructure development of alkali-activated slag cements, mechanical properties and durability of alkali-activated slag cement and concrete.

Alkali-Activated Binders offer an excellent low-carbon, durable and environmentally sensitive alternative to Portland cement. Their reaction mechanism, involving dissolution, orientation and hardening, is not widely understood. This captures the current state of the art for both professionals and academics, updating the 2005 work Alkali-activated Cements and Concretes. It surveys:The raw materials and their propertiesThe hydration and microstructure development of alkali-activated slag/fly ash/metakaoline bindersThe mechanical properties and durability of alkali-activated slag/fly ash/metakaoline binders and concretesVarious other cementing systems and their applicationsFiber-reinforced alkali-activated binders and concretesRelated standards and specificationsTheir carbon footprint and life cycle analysis
