{"product_id":"geopolymers-as-sustainable-surface-concrete-repair-materials","title":"Geopolymers as Sustainable Surface Concrete Repair Materials","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe progressive deterioration of concrete surface structures is a major concern in construction engineering that requires precise repairing. While a number of repair materials have been developed, geopolymer mortars have been identified as potentially superior and environmentally friendly high-performance construction materials, as they are synthesized by selectively combining waste materials containing alumina and silica compounds which are further activated by a strong alkaline solution. \u003ci\u003eGeopolymers as Sustainable Surface Concrete Repair Materials \u003c\/i\u003eoffers readers insights into the synthesis, properties, benefits and applications of geopolymer-based materials for concrete repair.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e• Discusses manufacturing and design methods of geopolymer-based materials\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e• Assesses mechanical strength and durability of geopolymer-based materials under different aggressive environmental conditions\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e• Characterizes the microstructure of these materials using XRD, SEM, EDX, TGA, DTG and FTIR measurements\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e• Describes application of geopolymer-based materials as surface repair materials\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e• Compares environmental and cost benefits against those of traditional OPC and commercial repair materials\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book is written for researchers and professional engineers working with concrete materials, including civil and materials engineers.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45542351732974,"sku":"9781032002996","price":184.8,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/bookland.com.au\/products\/geopolymers-as-sustainable-surface-concrete-repair-materials","provider":"Book Land AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
