Geopolymer using volcanic glass powder, risk of ASR

a new publication has been published from Cement and Concrete Composite. Volcanic glass powder (VGP) is an effective natural pozzolan available in Japan. We are very interested in using VGP in our industry to reduce the clinker ratio. This paper discusses the risk of ASR of AAM concrete using VGP. It is a very specific discussion, but the results could be useful for the discussion of ASR.
