An experimental investigation was conducted to synthesise an alkali-activated binder using natural pozzolan and limestone powder. The effect of the mix parameters such as the binder ratio, NaOH molarity (4 - 14 M), curing temperature (25 - 90 °C), sodium silicate to sodium hydroxide ratio (0.5 - 1.5...
