Sulfuric acid attack on ordinary Portland cement and geopolymer material
(Institute for Scientific Information (ISI), 2013-09)
The resistance of ordinary Portland cement binder towards acid had been widely discussed by researchers. The deterioration effect of this binder may cost high repair expense and rehabilitation. Geopolymer material is a new ...
Fly ash porous material using geopolymerization process for high temperature exposure
(MDPI AG (Basel, Switzerland), 2012-04)
This paper presents the results of a study on the effect of temperature on geopolymers manufactured using pozzolanic materials (fly ash). In this paper, we report on our investigation of the performance of porous geopolymers ...
Microstructural analysis of geopolymer and ordinary Portland cement mortar exposed to sulfuric acid
(Revista De Materiale Plastice, 2013-09)
The vulnerability of ordinary Portland cement (OPC) concrete to acidic attack is a worrying subject regarding the future durability of this binder. On the other side of binder's technology, the new technology of cement ...
Effect of curing regimes on metakaolin geopolymer pastes produced from geopolymer powder
(Scientific.Net/Trans Tech Publications, 2012-12)
The properties of metakaolin geopolymer paste are affected by the alkali concentration, the initial raw materials, solidification process, and amount of mixing water as well as the curing conditions. This study aimed to ...
Strength and microstructural properties of mechanically-activated kaolin geopolymers
(Trans Tech Publications, 2012-12)
Kaolin geopolymers exhibit low strength properties due to its plate-like nature which contribute to smaller surface area for geopolymerization reactions. Layered kaolin structure only allows very little, if any, substitution ...
Mechanical performances of fly ash geopolymer bricks
(American Scientific Publishers, 2013-01)
Geopolymer is a new class of three-dimensionally networked amorphous to semi-crystalline alumino-silicate materials, and first developed by Professor Davidovits in 1978. Geopolymers can be synthesized by mixing alumino-silicate ...
Lightweight fly ash-based geopolymer concrete
(Trans Tech Publications, 2013)
The experiments of this study were preformed to study the synthesis process for lightweight aggregate geopolymer concrete (LWAGC) using normal sand as a fine aggregate and expanded clay as lightweight aggregate. The LWAGC ...
Mechanical and microstructural evaluations of lightweight aggregate geopolymer concrete before and after exposed to elevated temperatures
(MDPI, Basel, Switzerland, 2013)
This paper presents the mechanical and microstructural characteristics of a lightweight aggregate geopolymer concrete (LWAGC) synthesized by the alkali-activation of a fly ash source (FA) before and after being exposed to ...
A study on the synthesis of fly ash-based lightweight aggregate geopolymer concrete
(American Scientific Publishers All rights reserved., 2013-01)
The experiments conducting for current investigation aimed to study the synthesis process for lightweight aggregate geopolymer concrete (LWAGC) and explore the significance and limitations of the activator content on the ...
Study on fly ash based geopolymer for coating applications
(Trans Tech Publications, 2013)
Geopolymer is cementitious binders that do not require the presence of ordinary Portland cement (OPC). Fly ash with geopolymer formulations prepared with mixing alumino-silicate with the alkaline activator solution has ...
