New paper from RILEM TC 294-MPA
 
Members of RILEM TC 294-MPA Mechanical properties of alkali-activated concrete have recently produced an interlaboratory study of the mechanical properties of fiber-reinforced ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBFS)-based alkali-activated concrete (FRAAC) that supports the use of FRAAC as a sustainable substitute for conventional Portland cement concrete. The shareable version of this paper is available here.
