Abstract

This paper reports the effect of slag (SL) replacement and water-to-binder (w/b) ratio on properties of one-part geopolymer derived from high-calcium fly ash (FA) and sodium silicate powder (NP). The FA was replaced by SL at the rates of 20% and 40%, respectively. This study focused on conducting experimental tests to evaluate the relative slump, setting time, compressive strength, and flexural strength of one-part FA-based geopolymer. The relationship between compressive and flexural strengths of one-part geopolymer mortar was expressed using the simplified linear regression model, whereas the normalization of compressive and flexural strengths with SL replacement by the strength of one-part geopolymer mortar without SL as the divisor was also evaluated. Experimental results showed that the increase of SL replacement and w/b ratio significantly affected the workability and strength development of one-part geopolymer mortar. Higher SL replacement exhibited a positive effect on their compressive and flexural strengths; however, a reduction in its setting time was obtained. The enhancement in strength development of one-part geopolymer was primarily due to the increased calcium content of SL. Similarly, reducing the w/b ratio in the production of one-part geopolymer resulted in a decrease in setting time and an increase in strength development. Based on the relationship between compressive and flexural strengths, the prediction coefficient value (R2) obtained from the curve fitting procedure was 0.835, indicating a good level of reliability and acceptability for engineering applications. Doi: 10.28991/CEJ-SP2024-010-013 Full Text: PDF

Abstract

Waste glass enhances concrete sustainability by reducing virgin material use and recycling waste. In traditional concrete, it boosts strength through pozzolanic reactions, while in geopolymer concrete, it improves durability, insulation, and resistance to harsh conditions. This study investigated the viability of substituting auto glass powder (AGP) for high-calcium fly ash (FA) in geopolymer mortar formulations. AGP was utilized as a substitute for high-calcium FA at substitution levels ranging from 0% to 40% by weight. The study examined the physical properties, compressive strength, thermal insulation, and high-temperature performance of the geopolymer composites. The findings indicated that a higher AGP content corresponded with a reduced mortar flow, while increasing the proportion of AGP resulted in the diminished compressive strength of the geopolymer composites. Incorporating 10–20% AGP into the geopolymer mortar gave satisfactory compressive strengths (75–85%) compared to the reference mortar. Thermal conductivity testing indicated that AGP enhanced the thermal insulating properties of mortar. Notably, the compressive strength, after being exposed to 600–900°C, improved with the inclusion of the AGP. Based on XRD, the combeite crystalline phase was present in the mortars containing 20% and 40% AGP after being subjected to 900ºC. This phase contributed to the durability and stability of the material. Thus, it was confirmed that AGP not only served as a beneficial additive but also could play a crucial role in the thermal resilience of geopolymer systems.
