Portland versus alkali-activated cement wall panels containing mine tailing as aggregate: one-story house thermal performance simulation in a Brazilian and Portuguese hot and humid climate

Abstract: Alkali-activated materials (AAM) compared to Portland cement (PC) may significantly reduce the carbon dioxide emissions, as well as the consumption of non-renewable natural resources in civil engineering applications. Further environmental advantages are possible if natural aggregates used for mortars and concretes are replaced with residues and wastes from industrial or mining activities. This paper compares the performance of PC with AAM as binders in cementitious wall panels for external cladding in hot and… Show more

“…Today, the reuse of waste from different industrial processes as new materials for civil construction has been increasingly developed to promote circular economy. Alkaline activated cements can significantly reduce carbon dioxide emissions as well as the consumption of non-renewable natural resources in civil engineering applications, relatively to ordinary Portland cement (OPC), since waste materials can be used instead of natural aggregates [3].…”
