Creep of alkali-activated fly ash and slag concrete
Unveiling multiscale dynamics
In this paper, the atomic structures of sodium aluminosilicate hydrate (N–A–S–H) gels with different Si/Al ratios are studied by molecular dynamics simulation. An N–A–S–H gel model was obtained from the polymerization of Si(OH)4 and Al(OH)3 monomers with ...
Alkali activated concrete (AAC) has not received broader industry acceptance, one reason of which lies in the uncertainties in the durability against shrinkage and potential cracking. Many studies reported that AAC exhibit larger autogenous shrinkage than OPC concrete. However ...
This paper aims to study the adhesion mechanism of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) fiber within alkali-activated slag/fly ash (AASF) matrix using molecular dynamics (MD) simulation in combination with systematic experimental characterization. The adhesion of PVA to C-(N-)A-S-H gel wit ...
This study aims to compare the developments of mechanical properties and autogenous shrinkage related properties of alkali-activated materials-based concrete (AC) and ordinary Portland cement-based concrete (OC) against curing age and degree of reaction. Temperature Stress Tes ...
