General properties of kaolin geopolymers
(American Scientific Publishers, 2013-01)
This paper reported the properties of kaolin geopolymers in term of the bulk density, compressive strength, qualitative observation and SEM analysis of the kaolin geopolymers. Kaolin geopolymers were synthesized through ...
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 ...
Properties of metakaolin geopolymeric binder
(American Scientific Publishers, 2013-01)
This paper investigates the physical and mechanical properties as well as the morphology study of the MK geopolymeric binder. Mixture of waterglass liquid and NaOH solution were used as the activator solution for the ...
Strength of concrete with ceramic waste and quarry dust as aggregates
(Trans Tech Publications, 2013)
This research focuses on a study of the strength of concrete with ceramic waste as coarse aggregate and quarry dust as fine aggregate. The sources of ceramic waste and quarry dust are obtained from the industrial in Malaysia. ...
The effects of fly ash and polystyrene bead additions on compressive strength of foamed cement composites
(Trans Tech Publications, 2013)
The effects of both additions of fly ash and polystyrene (PS) beads were studied on compressive strength of foamed cement composites. The increasing amount of fly ash addition up to 6 wt. % has been found to increase the ...
Study of concrete using modified polystyrene coarse aggregate
(Trans Tech Publications, 2013)
Polymer recycling has received a great deal of attention in recent years. At the present time, small percentages of polymer wastes in Malaysia are being recycled. The recycling process has typically consisted of reprocessing ...
Design, processing and characterization of fly ash-based geopolymers for lightweight concrete application
(Institute for Scientific Information (ISI), 2013-04)
The mix design of geopolymers plays important role in obtaining desirable compressive strength. Optimum mix design of geopolymers can be applied for application, such as lightweight concrete. In order to determine the ...
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 ...
