Summary:

This book consolidates the findings in the process of the development of new classes of blended alkali-activated binder system by the author. It covers extensively on mechanical and durability properties of the ternary and quaternary blended alkali-activated material. Some of the key advantages of this book are the detailed elaborations on the following aspects: Material design and formulation of the ternary and quaternary blended alkali-activated binder system; Fabrication process to produce the materials; Key engineering properties and behaviour of the materials; Fundamental concepts in the design and fabrication of the materials; Approach for reduction of the embodied carbon emission of alkali-activated binders through the synergistic activation method. Author is a prominent researcher and author in the field of sustainable concrete materials and technology. He found that it is possible to produce new binder for the construction industry to replace the role of cement. This green binder material is produced from industrial by-products in the iron making and electrical power sectors that commonly face disposal problem.
