Abstract
Alkali-activated concrete (AAC) is an alternative to ordinary Portland cement concrete and has several potential benefits over normal Portland cement. This includes improved acid resistance, elevated temperature applications, resistance to weathering and reduced carbon emissions from the production of normal Portland cement. However, the field application of AAC is limited due to a lack of standard mixture proportions codes. This study focuses on developing a procedure for the mixture proportions.
