Chloride-induced corrosion of steel embedded in AAMs: the current state of the art

Alkali-activated materials are a group of alternative binders based on aluminosilicate precursor and an alkali activator. Since precursors are mostly waste materials and by- products, AAMs are considered to be a valid and more environmental-friendly alternative to Portland cement. Although the AAMs show good performance, there are not enough studies in the literature about their long-term durability performance related to chloride ingress and embedded steel corrosion. The issue of this paper is to highlight the main difference between OPC and the different types of AAMs, and to give a short introduction about the state of art of this embedded steel corrosion.
