The effect of curing temperature on physical and chemical properties of geopolymers
(Elsevier BV, 2011)Fly ash-based geopolymers required heat to increase the geopolymerization process in order to obtain higher compressive strength. As such, geopolymer samples were prepared using different curing temperatures (room temperature, ... -
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. ... -
Effects of fly ash addition on compressive strength and flexural strength of foamed cement composites
(Trans Tech Publications, 2013)In this study, the mixing of polystyrene (PS) beads and fly ash as a sand replacement material in foamed cement composites (FCC) has been investigated. Specifically, the mechanical properties such as compressive strength ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
The influence of curing periods on the compressive strength of fly ash-based geopolymer at different aging times
(Trans Tech Publications, 2012)The results of the current experimental investigation indicate the significant effect of the heating periods on the compressive strength of fly ash-based geopolymers prepared at different alkaline liquid content at both ... -
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 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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
Properties of modified polystyrene lightweight aggregate in concrete
(Universiti Malaysia Pahang, 2009-06-20)Several experiments were conducted to characterize the properties of modified polystyrene lightweight aggregate in concrete. Microstructure of modified polystyrene lightweight aggregate in concrete can be assessed by ... -
The relationship of NaOH molarity, Na2SiO3/NaOH ratio, fly ash/alkaline activator ratio, and curing temperature to the strength of fly ash-based geopolymer
(Trans Tech Publications, 2011)Geopolymer, produced by the reaction of fly ash with an alkaline activator (mixture of Na2SiO3 and NaOH solutions), is an alternative to the use of ordinary Portland cement (OPC) in the construction industry. However, there ... -
Review on the various ash from palm oil waste as geopolymer material
(Advanced Study Center Co. Ltd., 2013)The solid waste from palm oil mill industry has been increasing annually where it has been reported that the palm oil waste was produced 4 million tons/years in Malaysia only. Hence, the solution to overcome the problems ...
