Publisher: | MDPI | Abstract: | This study investigates the alterations in the ratios of components such as class C fly ash (FA), blast furnace slag (BFS), and waste stone powder (WSP) types of limestone powder (LP) used in the production of geopolymer concrete. These components are meticulously examined concerning the physical and mechanical attributes of geopolymer concrete. Using the mixture-design method, 10 different mixing ratios were determined using FA, BFS, and LP, and experimental research on the mechanical attributes and workability of geopolymer mortar is presented. A series of experimental tests, including tests for compressive strength, impact strength, setting time, flow table, flexural strength, and water absorption, were carried out on the geopolymer mortars that were made using FA, BFS, and LP, to investigate and enhance their overall performance. The experimental study aimed to ascertain the extent to which variations in the materials used in the formation of geopolymer mortar affected its mechanical and physical properties. To achieve this objective, certain parameters for geopolymer mortar formulation were fixed, according to the literature (molarity: 10; aggregate/binder ratio: 2.5; plasticizer ratio: 2%; sodium silicate (SS)/sodium hydroxide (SH): 1.5; additional water content: 14.5%; alkali activators/binder: 0.5). Subsequently, mortars were produced according to the 10 different mixing ratios determined by the mixture-design method, and the experiments were completed. The samples of the 10 different mixes were subjected to air curing at an ambient temperature (23 degrees C +/- 2 degrees C) for 28 days. Following the curing period, the tests revealed that mix No. 9 exhibited the best compressive, flexural, and impact strengths, while mix No. 10 demonstrated superior workability of geopolymer mortar. It was shown that impact, compressive, and flexural strength values decreased as the ratios of FA and LP increased. In contrast, the increases in the ratios of FA and LP positively influenced the workability of geopolymer mortar. | URI: | https://doi.org/10.3390/app14020553 https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.13091/5124 |
