Title: Engineering characterization of waste derived geopolymer cement concrete for structural applications
Author: Tempest, Brett
Date Created: 2010
Description: Geopolymer cements provide an alternative to the Portland cement used to manufacture structural concrete. The material commonly used to produce geopolymers is fly ash, which is found in the waste stream of power generation facilities. Therefore, r...
