Abstract: This paper evaluates the effect of the addition of nanocalcium carbonate (NC) and nanosilica (NS) on chloride-induced corrosion, chloride diffusion, chloride permeability, and service life of high-volume slag (HVS) and ...

Abstract: This paper presents the behavior of amorphous metallic fiber (AMF)–reinforced geopolymer composites under compression, bending, and uniaxial tension loads. Comparison is also made with counterpart cement composites reinforced ...

Abstract: This paper is aimed to improve the mechanical properties (namely compressive and tensile strengths) of a recently developed fly ash-based engineered geopolymer composite (EGC) with relatively low-concentration activator ...

Abstract: This paper reports test results on the corrosion durability of reinforcing steel in three series of precracked beams of ordinary mortar; a high-performance fiber-reinforced cementitious composite (HPFRCC) containing ...

Abstract: This research studied an innovative method for improving the properties of fly ash–based geopolymer mortar by using ultrafine two-dimensional (2D) graphitic carbon nanoplatelets (GCNPs) derived from sustainable biomass ...

Abstract: This paper investigates the effects of curing conditions on a high-strength geopolymer material synthesized by activating different combinations of Class F fly ash (FA), ground-granulated blast-furnace (slag), and ultrafine ...
