This paper presents mechanical and durability properties of geopolymer concrete containing recycled coarse aggregate (RCA). The RCA is sourced from local construction demolition (C&D) waste in Perth, Australia. used as a partial replacement natural (NCA) at 15%, 30% 50% by wt. which corresponds to series two, three four, respectively, while the 100% NCA control considered first series. Class F fly ash source material for 8 M sodium hydroxide silicate alkali activators are synthesise this...
Cotton fabric (CF) reinforced geopolymer composites are fabricated with fibre loadings of 4.5, 6.2 and 8.3 wt%. Results show that flexural strength, modulus, impact hardness fracture toughness increased as the content increased. The ultimate mechanical properties were achieved a effect water absorption on physical CF is also investigated. magnitude maximum uptake diffusion coefficient an increase in content. Flexural values decreased result absorption. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) used...
The effect of nano-clay platelets (Cloisite 30B) on the mechanical and thermal properties fly ash geopolymer has been investigated in this paper. are added to reinforce at loadings 1.0%, 2.0%, 3.0% by weight. phase composition microstructure nano-composites also using X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) scanning electron microscope (SEM) techniques. Results show that improved due addition nano-clay. It is found 2.0 wt% decreases porosity increases...
This paper is aimed to improve the mechanical properties (namely compressive and tensile strengths) of a recently developed fly ash-based engineered geopolymer composite (EGC) with relatively low-concentration activator combinations. In this regard, four different combinations (including two Na-based solutions one K-based solution, lime-based combination in form powder) were used develop EGCs exhibiting strain hardening behavior under uniaxial tension. Randomly oriented short polyvinyl...
In this study, lithium slag was utilised as a supplementary cementitious material (SCM) to develop pozzolanic activity and reduce CO2 emissions related cement production, with focus on comprehensive chemical tests microstructural assessments. Lithium primarily characterised through laser particle size analyser, X-ray fluorescence, diffraction, scanning transmission electron microscopy coupled energy dispersive spectroscopy, thermogravimetry. These indicate that holds 31.6% amorphous phase...
