The present work on durability in materials obtained by alkaline activation (AAM), in state-of-the-art review format, is structured as follows. (i) The concept of alkali activated materials-composition-performance; (ii) The prediction of the useful life of AAM-methodologies and planning; (iii) The durability and properties of Engineering-mechanical tests-standards of specifications and tests (iv) Degradation processes of Chemical Matrix-resistance to sulfates (SO42-), acids (HCl), (H422SO4), (HNO3), (H3PO4), (HF), (H2CO3) and sea waters; (v) Degradation processes by mass transport-permeability, porosity, corrosion, carbonation, efflorescence and ice-thawed.
