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 ...
Optimization of alkaline activator / fly ash ratio on the compressive strength of manufacturing fly ash-based geopolymer
(Trans Tech Publications, 2012)
Fly ash and a mixture of alkaline activators namely sodium silicate (Waterglass) and sodium hydroxide (NaOH) solution were used for preparing geopolymer. The aim of this research is to determine the optimum value of the ...
Fire resistance evaluation of lightweight geopolymer concrete system exposed to elevated temperatures of 100-800 °C
(Trans Tech Publications, 2014)
This paper reports the fire resistance property of a lightweight aggregate geopolymer concrete (LWAGC) material synthesized by the alkali-activation of locally source fly ash (FA) after exposed to elevated temperatures ...
Alteration in the microstructure of fly ash geopolymer upon exposure to elevated temperatures
(Trans Tech Publications, 2013)
This paper represents the mechanical and microstructure changes in geopolymeric material synthesized by the alkali activation of locally source fly ash at high temperatures of 400, 600 and 800 °C. The high compressive ...
Study on solids-to-liquid and alkaline activator ratios on kaolin-based geopolymers
(Elsevier Ltd., 2012-10)
Kaolin and alkali activator were mixed with the solids-to-liquid ratios in range of 0.60-1.20 (Al 2O 3/Na 2O molar ratio of 0.63-1.27). Sodium silicate and sodium hydroxide ranged between 0.16 and 0.36 (SiO 2/Na 2O molar ...
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 ...
