Propiedades y aplicaciones de los cementos alcalinos Properties and uses of alkali cements by Ana Fernández-Jiménez, Ángel Palomo

“…So depending on the type of alkali activator that is used and after a previous thermal curing, the resulting material will show an interesting list of properties and features that includes: high initial mechanical strengths (under flexure and compression), low drying shrinkage, and a very good matrix-steel bonding, as well as an excellent strength to acid attack and an excellent behaviour when is exposed to fire. That is the reason why these new cements, due to their magnificent and durable technologic features as well as its easy adaptability to the existing installations in the precast industry, can be used in a variety of applications, for example: elaboration of railroad cross ties, blocks for building or paving, and so others.…”
