PROPERTIES OF GEOPOLYMER CEMENTS
by Joseph Davidovits
published in the Proceedings, pp. 131-149
Geopolymer cement, high-alkali (K-Ca)-Poly(sialate-siloxo) cement, results from an inorganic polycondensation reaction, a so-called geopolymerisation yielding three dimensional zeolitic frameworks. High-tech Geopolymer K-Poly(sialate-siloxo) binders, whether used pure, with fillers or reinforced, are already finding applications in all [...]
Recent Progresses in Concretes for Nuclear Waste
and Uranium Waste Containment
by Joseph Davidovits
published in Concrete International, Vol.16 (12), pp. 53-58 (1994)
The main objective in the management of nuclear and uranium radioactive wastes is to protect current and future generations from unacceptable exposure to radiation from man-made materials. This task can best be achieved by the use [...]

This report presents the results of an experimental investigation of the behavior of reinforced concrete beams strengthened with carbon fiber fabrics and geopolymer. The primary objective of the investigation was to [...]
A la recherche du Carbunculus (searching for Carbunculus)
by Frédéric Davidovits, Université de Caen
published in Revue Voces, Vol. 5, pp. 33-46 (1994),
( in French, en Français )
Abstract in English:
Carbunculus, as described by Vitruvius (2, 4, 1; 2, 6, 6; 8, 1, 2), is a mineral used like a pouzzolana, which, when added, yields a very good [...]
