An interesting alternative is provided by alkali-activated geopolymer materials (AAGM). This book focuses on fly ash-based alkali-activated geopolymer concrete, its production and characteristic properties.
"Concrete production has always been a main source of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions.
Geopolymers as Sustainable Surface Concrete Repair Materials offers readers insights into the synthesis, properties, benefits and applications of geopolymer-based materials for concrete repair. • Discusses manufacturing and design methods ...
The purpose of this writing this book is to express the properties of Rise Husk Ash (RHA) based geopoylmer incorporate with, (GGBS) at ambient curing conditions, which ican be trated as a substitute to the (OPC).
In this book, an experimental study of the thermo-mechanical properties of a cement prepared using a class F fly ash and three different alkali-activators (NaOH, KOH, and Na2SiO3) under different hydroxide/silicate ratios is presented.
In this experimental study, the bagasse ash and metakaolin is used to develop the geopolymer concrete.
The physical, mechanical, microstructural and thermal properties of the prepared LWAGC before and after being exposed to elevated temperatures ranged of 100-800 °C were extensively investigated through this work.
To find the right mix design proved challenging as these masonry products generally require a mix to have zero slump.
Portland cement is the main component of traditional concrete used for construction; hence it is widely used.
