Abstract

Geopolymer hybrid concrete is prepared by activating fly ash bottom ash with an alkaline solution and curing with Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC). OPC could be added to the mixture to increase the reaction, promote hydration, and assist in curing at room temperature. Peat water is an acidic organic environment that may reduce the durability of concrete. The purpose of this research is to determine the effect of Portland cement on the properties of FABA geopolymer hybrid concrete exposed to peat water. Portland cement was used in geopolymer as an additive and a substitute. Compressive strength, porosity, and weight change were evaluated for both mixtures. The NaOH molarities were 10, 12, and 14M, the NaOH/sodium silicate ratios were 1.5, 2.0, and 2.5, and the Ordinary Portland Cement percentages were 0, 10, and 15%. Specimens were exposed to peat water for up to 91 days following 28 days of room temperature curing. The geopolymer mixture with 10M NaOH, 2.5M Ms, and 15% OPC had the highest compressive strength and the lowest porosity. The FABA geopolymer hybrid with OPC had a slightly greater compressive strength and a lower porosity than the geopolymer containing OPC as a cement replacement material. In addition, weight change is more stable in geopolymers containing OPC. Based on the performance of both mixes in peat water, it is recommended to use OPC as an additive in FABA geopolymer hybrid concrete.

Abstract

This study compares the effects of peat water and normal water as mixing and curing water on the properties of crumb rubber and rice husk ash concrete (CR-RHA). The number of crumb rubber and rice husk ash used on the concrete followed the optimum mixture from a previous study, which was 5% and 10%, respectively. The crumb rubber was treated to overcome the lack of adhesion by soaking it in water for 24 hours. Normal concrete (PCC) was also cast as a control. CR-RHA and PCC concrete were mixed and cured using normal and peat water. Compressive strength, tensile strength, and porosity were tested at 3, 7, 14, 28, and 56 days. In general, CR-RHA concrete and PCC concrete showed lower performance when mixed and cured with peat water compared to normal water. Peat water with high acidity decreased the calcium content and developed the amount of pores in concrete, resulting in strength reduction. However, due to the excess pozzolan from rice husk ash, CR-RHA concrete had better resistance as the strength loss was relatively smaller, respectively 11.4% at 28 days and 10.6% at 56 days. Furthermore, CR-RHA concrete showed lower porosity, higher compressive strength, and tensile strength than PCC concrete due to rice husk ash that improved concrete density by generating CSH and crumb rubber that prevented concrete from spalling in an acidic environment. It was also found that compared to the previous study, pre-treated crumb rubber exhibited better mechanical and durability of concrete.
