Alkali-activated binary concrete based on a natural pozzolan: physical, mechanical and microstructural characterization
This article presents the physical, mechanical and microstructural characterization of an alkali-activated binary concrete (AABC) based on a natural pozzolan (NP) of volcanic origin (70%) and granulated blast furnace slag (GBFS) (30%) cured at room temperature (25°C). A solution based on the combina...
