• Concrete structures that are quickly erected using easily transportable materials are required in many civilian and military applications. However, conveying raw materials to the sites is difficult and time consuming.
• Alternatives like precast concrete members can be viable, but if the location is inaccessible, transportation of large structural elements can be challenging. These instant shelters, if made of flexible material, may lack adequate strength and are not resistant to heat/ cold and leakage of rainwater. Besides, instant structures with adequate strength are necessary for emergencies, where long duration concrete curing is not feasible.
• Presently, alkali activated concrete or geopolymer concrete is emerging as one of the most promising materials for construction. It shows superior strength over ordinary cement concrete. Their unique properties such as high strength and sustainability make them an ideal candidate in most of the construction applications.
• Therefore, the present invention proposes a solution with construction materials, methods and kits that can be transported to remote locations in a compact form.

• The present invention is focused upon an alkali-activated concrete cloth assembly that allows in situ curable construction kits for forming a structure with a wall and a roof.

METHOD

The alkali activated concrete cloth assembly (Fig. 2.) forms a planar structure for a dwelling that includes

• A mortar mixture, comprising either slag or a blend of slag and one or more of fly ash, bagasse ash, or rice husk ash (RHA) enclosed between a first fabric cover and a second fabric cover for forming a planar structure.
• One or more sealed perforated pipes, carrying an activator solution and placed within the mortar mixture and sandwiched between a first and a second fabric cover.

• Further, the activator solution is configured to be released in situ into the mortar mixture to hydrate, polymerize and set the mixture.
