Effects of elevated temperatures on the thermal behavior and mechanical performance of fly ash geopolymer paste, mortar and lightweight concrete
(Elsevier, 2014-01)
This paper reports a comparative study of the influence of elevated temperature on geopolymer paste, mortars and lightweight aggregate geopolymer concrete (LWAGC) systems made by using fly ash (FA) as only source material. ...
Microstructure study on optimization of high strength fly ash based geopolymer
(Trans Tech Publications, 2012)
The compressive strength and microstructural characteristics of fly ash based geopolymer with alkaline activator solution were investigated. The sodium hydroxide and sodium silicate were mixed together to form an alkaline ...
Microstructure study on volcano ash geopolymer aggregate at different sintering temperature
(Trans Tech Publications, 2014)
Recent research shows that the by-product materials such as fly ash can be used as raw material in producing aggregates and lightweight aggregates. The usage of this material can improve the quality of the aggregates ...
Comparison of geopolymer fly ash and ordinary Portland cement to the strength of concrete
(American Scientific Publishers, 2013-12)
The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of various fly ash: aggregate ratios by using fly ash (FA) based geopolymer compared to ordinary Portland cement (OPC) on the compressive strength of concrete. The different ...
Comparison of original and sintered LUSI mud from East Java, Indonesia as raw material for making a geopolymer
(American Scientific Publishers, 2013-01)
This paper presents the characterization of LUSI mud from East Java, Indonesia, as a potential raw material for making a geopolymer. Two types of LUSI mud were analyzed, i.e., original LUSI mud and LUSI mud that had been ...
Fly ash-based geopolymer lightweight concrete using foaming agent
(MDPI, Basel, Switzerland., 2012-06)
In this paper, we report the results of our investigation on the possibility of producing foam concrete by using a geopolymer system. Class C fly ash was mixed with an alkaline activator solution (a mixture of sodium ...
Characterization of LUSI mud volcano as geopolymer raw material
(Trans Tech Publications, 2012)
The mud of mud volcano samples were collected from an eruption site named 'LUSI' (Lumpur "mud" -Sidoarjo), East Java, Indonesia for characterization. Analysis showed that, the major constituents of mud are SiO 2 and Al 2O ...
Study on radioactivity components, water quality and microstructure characteristic of volcano ash as geopolymer artificial aggregate
(SYSCOM 18, 2013-06)
The assessments of radioactivity, water qualitytesting and microstructure characteristic of volcano ash have been examined. The measurement of the 226Ra, 232Th, 40K, and 238U were carried out using radioactive concentration ...
Feasibility of producing wood fibre-reinforced geopolymer composites (WFRGC)
(Trans Tech Publications, 2013)
Wood fibres have long been known as a fibre reinforcement for concrete. Due to its availability and low production cost, this natural fibre has been used in less developed country where conventional construction materials ...
Correlation between Na 2SiO 3/NaOH ratio and fly ash/alkaline activator ratio to the strength of geopolymer
(Trans Tech Publications, 2012)
Geopolymer requires an alkaline activator to induce it pozzolanic property and to accelerate the geopolymerisation process. The geopolymerisation process occurs due to the mixing of fly ash, sodium silicate and sodium ...
