Project description

State-of-the-art mix designs for alkali-activated concrete are taken to study mix design for textile

 

reinforced mortar. Key parameters are local by-products, compatibility of materials and shrinkage

control. At micro-scale the focus is on the mortar and mortar-textile composite; at meso-scale on bond

to concrete and tension stiffening; and at macro-scale on strengthening effect when applied to deficit

concrete members
