Abstract(s)

The present work on durability in materials obtained by alkaline activation (AAM), in state-of-the-art review format, is structured as follows. (I) -The concept of alkali activated materials-composition-performance; (II) - The prediction of the useful life of AAM-methodologies and planning; (III) - The durability and properties of Engineering-mechanical tests-standards of specifications and tests (IV)-Degradation processes of Chemical Matrix-resistance to sulfates (SO4-²), acids (HCl), (H4²2SO4) (HNO3), (H3PO4), (HF), (H2CO3) and sea waters; (V) Degradation processes by mass transport - permeability, porosity, corrosion, carbonation, efflorescence and ice-thawed.
