#22 GEOASH: ambient temp. hardening of fly ash-based geopolymer cements

The European Research Project GEOASH: (2004-2007).

Development of room temperature hardening for fly ash-based geopolymer cements and concretes.

When compared with alkali-activated, heat-cured conventional methods, the slag/fly ash-based geopolymer cement technologies, which harden at ambient temperature, provide better properties: higher strength, safer long-term durability and lower leachates.
