Review on concrete under combined environmental actions and possibilities for application to alkali activated materials

Alkali Activated Materials (AAMs), which are locally available alumino-silicate based materials, are emerging as alternative binders to Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) due to higher performance and reduced carbon footprint. Before their implementation on a larger scale, their durability performance needs to be fully understood. The data on durability performance of AAMs under single environmental action are limited, and there are almost no data on their behaviour under two or more environmental actions. This article provides brief literature review on novel methods for determining durability of concrete under combined environmental actions, which could be utilised to determine the behaviour of AAMs under combined environmental actions.
