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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
