Evolution of reaction products and compressive strength of alkali-activated cements using computational modelling techniques

Financing entity

The general objective of the project is to develop a phenomenologically based dynamic model of the kinetics of the alkaline activation process, involving the reactions that are generated in the process according to the precursors and activators used, which will allow the evolution over time of the main products formed and account for the compressive strength of the system.
