Mechanical Properties of Alkali Activated Material Based on Red Clay and Silica Gel Precursor

The search for alternative alumosilicates source for production of alkali activated materials (AAM) is intensively researched. Wide spread of natural materials such as clays and waste materials are one of potential alternatives. In this research AAM was made from local waste brick made of red clay a...
