Performance of geopolymer concrete subjected to mineral acid corrosion and related to microbially-induced corrosion (MIC) of concrete in sewers by Dlamini, Mandla

“…Basicity was also found to be useful in determining the corrosion compatibility of binder type and aggregate types. It was found that the difference between the basicity value of hardened cement paste and the basicity value of the aggregate was useful in determining the type and extent of preferential corrosion of a concrete specimen tested under the dynamic HCl test. …”

Carbonation and permeability characteristics of modern South African concretes by Omar, Nabeel

“…The experimental work included investigating the permeability and carbonation performance of modern concretes made with modern binder types at varying binder replacement levels and binder combinations, including binary and ternary cement blends at two water:binder ratios of 0,50 and 0,65. …”

Performance and properties of structural concrete made with corex slag by Jaufeerally, Hassen

“…Deformation experiments showed that corex slag concrete had the lowest creep and shrinkage strains of all the concretes at low water:binder ratios. At higher water:binder ratios, however, the shrinkage strains were in the same range as the other two materials. …”

Manufacturing bio-tiles by Horn, Emma

“…Bio-tiles can be made with MICP using various methods, each with drawbacks and advantages. Three methods were tested: submersion, pumping and combining the benefits of both into a third that is more automated, modular and scalable: binder jet 3D printing. …”

Properties of Western Cape concrete with metakaolin by Bakera, Alice Titus

“…Special mortars were designed for pozzolanic activity and accelerated mortar bar tests, while three groups of concretes i.e. with 0.4, 0.5, and 0.6 water/binder (w/b) ratios with five different replacement rates of SCMs (0%, 10%, 15%, and 20% metakaolin, and 50% GGCS) were designed and cast for hardened properties and durability tests. …”
