Abstract:In this study, the effect of carbon black and graphite filler on the crack initiation and fracture parameters of fly ash geopolymer mortar is investigated. The carbon black was added in the amount of 0.5 and 1.0% and graphite powder in the amount of 5 and 10% relative to the fly ash mass. The reference mixture without any filler was also prepared. The fracture characteristics were determined based on the results of the three-point bending test of prismatic specimens provided with an initial central edge notch.… Show more
