Abstract

This chapter serves as a concise introduction to the State-of-the-Art Report on the Mechanical Properties of Alkali-Activated Materials (AAMs) in construction. It emphasizes the important role of mechanical properties in shaping AAM research and highlights key areas of exploration, including the impact of raw materials on mixture design, fresh properties, and a broad range of mechanical characteristics. Additionally, it outlines the structure of the book, guiding readers through its extensive coverage of theoretical foundations, practical insights, and emerging standards for AAMs. Overall, it sets the stage for understanding how AAMs can significantly advance sustainable construction practices.
