Release of Z16 - Geopolymer Recommended Practice Handbook -
28 Sep 2011
The Concrete Institute has launched the first edition of Geopolymer Concrete; a Recommended Practice. This publication deals with the manufacture and use of geopolymer concrete, as an alternative to conventional Ordinary Portland Cement concrete.
Geopolymer cement is a new kind of cement which uses a different chemistry to that found in traditional Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC). A geopolymer is made by activating amorphous alumino-silicate materials, such as fly ash and slag, with alkali-based chemicals such as sodium hydroxide and sodium silicate. The resultant concrete made from this cement is superior to OPC concrete in many ways and has the additional advantage that the substantial carbon dioxide emissions generated during the production of ground cement clinker are dramatically reduced. This document discusses the practical application of geopolymer technology to concrete manufacture when using low carbon (Class F) flyash as the cement binder.

Release of Z 15 - Cracking in Concrete Slabs on Ground and Pavements -
18 May 2011
The Concrete Institute has published the first edition of Cracking in Concrete: Slabs on Ground and Pavements.
The aim of the publication is to detail the various types of cracks that are relevant to concrete slabs on ground and pavements, describe their symptoms and discuss the main influences. This is to enable designers and contractors to take measures which will control cracks. Additionally the publication provides guidance to help diagnose the cause of existing cracks, which is essential if effective and remedial measures are to be specified. While not forms of cracking, the subjects of dusting, delamination of trowelled surfaces and curling are included in the publication, as their causes are very closely related to the reasons for cracking and they may provide the initiation location for various forms of cracking.
