Alternative Concrete – Geopolymer Concrete by Adrian LĂZĂRESCU,Henriette SZILÁGYI,Cornelia BAERĂ,Andreea HEGYI Pdf

Portland cement based concrete is the most versatile, durable and reliable building material. Unfortunately, the production of Portland cement is environmentally unfriendly. An interesting alternative is provided by alkali-activated geopolymer materials (AAGM). This book focuses on fly ash-based alkali-activated geopolymer concrete, its production and characteristic properties. The re-use of waste materials and industrial by-products, such as fly ash, is not only economically of interest but also helps to reduce carbon dioxide emissions. The carbon footprint of these materials is much lower than that of concrete using ordinary Portland cement. They thus offer new sustainable solutions to the construction industry. Keywords: Geopolymers, Geopolymer Concrete, Alkali-activated Geopolymer Materials (AAGM), Portland Cement, Fly Ash-based Geopolymer Concrete, Reduction of Carbon Dioxide Emissions, Concrete Applications, Self-Compacting Concrete, High-strength Concrete, High-performance Concrete.

Advanced Concrete Technology by Zongjin Li Pdf

Over the past two decades concrete has enjoyed a renewed level of research and testing, resulting in the development of many new types of concrete. Through the use of various additives, production techniques and chemical processes, there is now a great degree of control over the properties of specific concretes for a wide range of applications. New theories, models and testing techniques have also been developed to push the envelope of concrete as a building material. There is no current textbook which brings all of these advancements together in a single volume. This book aims to bridge the gap between the traditional concrete technologies and the emerging state-of-the-art technologies which are gaining wider use.

Ternary and Quaternary Blended Alkali-Activated Binder by Cheah Chee Ban Pdf

Ternary and Quaternary Blended Alkali-Activated Binder Ternary and Quaternary Blended Alkali-Activated Binder: Engineering Properties and Performance consolidates the findings in the process of the development of new classes of blended alkali-activated binder system by the author. It covers extensively on mechanical and durability properties of the ternary and quaternary blended alkali-activated material. Some of the key advantages of this book are the detailed elaborations on the following aspects: · Material design and formulation of the ternary and quaternary blended alkali-activated binder system · Fabrication process to produce the materials · Key engineering properties and behaviour of the materials · Fundamental concepts in the design and fabrication of the materials · Approach for reduction of the embodied carbon emission of alkali-activated binders through the synergistic activation method Cheah Chee Ban is a prominent researcher and author in the field of sustainable concrete materials and technology. He found that it is possible to produce new binder for the construction industry to replace the role of cement. This green binder material is produced from industrial by-products in the iron making and electrical power sectors that commonly face disposal problem. Therefore, the production of the binder material allows an alternative pathway for the recycling of waste materials. The technology being developed eliminates the need to extract limestones for the use as raw material in the concrete production; and therefore preserves the natural limestone hills. Currently, a total of six national patents and one international patent of his research have been filed and one national patent has been granted for the green concrete technology. Besides this, he has published over 49 research articles on the subject matter in the international scientific databases such as Scopus and ScienceDirect.
