Influence of amorphous raw rice husk ash as precursor and curing condition on the performance of alkali activated concrete

The detrimental impact of Portland cement (PC) which is the primary binder in the production of cementitious materials such as concrete has called for a need to use alternative binders to produce concrete. Of such promising sustainable alternative to the conventional PC concrete (PCC) are alkali-act...
