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 ...
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 ...
Bonding strength characteristics of FA-based geopolymer paste as a repair material when applied on OPC substrate
(MDPI AG, 2020-05)
This investigative study aims to study the mechanical and morphological properties of fly ash (FA)-based geopolymer paste as a repair material when applied on ordinary Portland cement (OPC) overlay concrete. The first part ...
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 ...
Mechanical properties and wear behavior of brake pads produced from palm slag
(Trans Tech Publications, 2012)
Brake pads are important safety devices in vehicles. An effort to avoid the use of asbestos in brake pads has led to the development of asbestos-free brake pads that incorporate various organic and inorganic fillers. Palm ...
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, ...
Effect of palm slag filler size on the mechanical and wear properties of brake pad composites
(American Scientific Publishers, 2013-01)
Particle size of filler and other material that involved in brake pad composites are expected to be able to strongly influence the wear properties and performance. Palm slag as a filler in brake pad was investigated in ...
Microstructure studies on the effect of the alkaline activators of fly ash-based geopolymer at elevated heat treatment temperature
(Trans Tech Publications, 2013)
Fly ash-based geopolymers are new binding materials produced to replace the ordinary Portland cement (OPC) used in concrete. In this research, the effect of alkaline activators on the compressive strength and the microstructure ...
Bonding strength characteristics of FA-based geopolymer paste as a repair material when applied on OPC substrate
(MDPI AG, 2020-05)
This investigative study aims to study the mechanical and morphological properties of fly
ash (FA)-based geopolymer paste as a repair material when applied on ordinary Portland cement
(OPC) overlay concrete. The first ...
