“…For the coal and co-fired fly ashes the optimum modulus of solution for strength was 1 among the activator solutions tested. Geopolymers too poor or rich in silica tend to have low strengths [21], which could explain why both the coal and co-fired fly ashes produced mixes mixes an increase in activator concentration from 7% to 10% had the greatest effect on strength at Ms = 1. B-CA-4 Na-1-10 was the strongest co-fired fly ash mix overall, with a binder strength of 44 MPa, sufficient for many applications.…”

“…Geopolymers are a complex class of materials, principally manufactured through alkali hydroxide and/or silicate activation of a reactive aluminosilicate, in particular calcined clays (metakaolin) or fly ash [5]. One of the most attractive benefits of geopolymer materials is the reduced energy consumption and CO2 emissions which are achievable compared to ordinary Portland cement [6]. The innovation of geopolymer foam concrete (GFC) creates an approach of developing energy efficient materials from material manufacturing to building operation, which seems to offer the possibility to be eco-friendly across the whole life cycle.…”

“…The first generation of these 'greener' cements involved blends of OPC and supplementary cementitious materials (SCM), which are now used in structural concrete all over the world for performance as well as environmental reasons [1]. The second generation includes alkali-activated cement/ concrete (AAC) [2], which does not contain OPC and is currently being introduced into the market [3,4]. As with all concretes, AAC must meet the mechanical strength and workability requirements of civil construction, and be durable over an extended service life.…”
