Compressive strength of high strength class C fly ash-based geopolymers with reactive granulated blast furnace slag aggregates designed by Taguchi method

Effects of sodium hydroxide and sodium silicate solutions on compressive and shear bond strengths of FA–GBFS geopolymer

“…To solve this problem, the use of geopolymer as an alternative binder for application in concrete industry is recommended [2][3][4][5]. Geopolymeric material is formed using source materials containing silica (SiO 2 ) and alumina (Al 2 O 3 ) such as fly ash (FA), calcined kaolin or metakaolin and granulated blast furnace slag (GBFS) activated with alkali solutions [6][7][8][9][10]. Specifically, sodium hydroxide based geopolymer is more attractive as it gives lower carbon footprint than sodium silicate based geopolymer.…”

An investigation of the microstructure and durability of a fluidized bed fly ash–metakaolin geopolymer after heat and acid exposure

“…Excellent properties of fly ash-based geopolymer concrete have been reported in the last decades [30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38]. Fly ash-based geopolymer concrete has properties favourable for its potential use as a cementitious material due to excellent durability aspects.…”

Split tensile strength of slag-based geopolymer composites reinforced with steel fibers: Application of Taguchi method in evaluating the effect of production parameters and their optimum condition

“…Also, the mechanical properties (compressive strength) of geopolymer produce with blast furnace slag source have been studied [10].…”
