Abstract Scope |
It is known that the use of Portland cement is essential for civil construction in all countries of the world, however, it is well known that this material is highly harmful to the environment. That said, the development of new binders such as activated alkali cement (AAC), produced from silica fume and activated by sodium hydroxide, opens the door to the study of less polluting and harmful materials. The results obtained in this research indicate the feasibility of using this material as a substitute for conventional binders. |
