This study investigates novel geopolymers by combining Reactive Ultra-fine Fly Ash (RUFA) with 4M sodium hydroxide as an alkali activator. Comparing with general fly ash geopolymers, RUFA geopolymer pastes are characterized in terms of compressive strength, microstructure, and crystalline phases. The RUFA geopolymer is successfully obtained as alumina-silicate bonding materials with the same properties as the general fly ash-based geopolymer. The high compressive strength of the RUFA-based geopolymer samples (13.33 MPa) can be attributed primarily to Ca-based alumino-silicate hydration products and Na-based alumino-silicate complexes. This research  presents an innovative application for geopolymers using RUFA. In the follow-up study, the influence of synthesis and concentration of alkali activator can be considered in RUFA-based geopolymers.

Geopolymer Paste

The production of ordinary Portland cement (OPC) consumes considerable amount of natural resources, energy and at the same time contribute in high emission of CO2 to the atmosphere. A new material replacing cement as binder called geopolymer is alkali-activated concrete which are made from fly ash, sodium silicate and sodium hydroxide (NaOH). The alkaline solution mixed with fly ash producing alternative binder to OPC binder in concrete named geopolymer paste. In the process, NaOH was fully dissolved in water and cooled to room temperature. This study aims to eliminate this process by using NaOH in solid form together with fly ash before sodium silicate liquid and water poured into the mixture. The amount of NaOH solids were based on 10M concentration. The workability test is in accordance to ASTM C230. Fifty cubic mm of the geopolymer paste were prepared which consists of fly ash to alkaline solution ratio of 1: 0.5 and the curing regime of 80℃ for 24 hours with 100% humidity were implemented. From laboratory test, the workability of dry method geopolymer paste were decreased. The compressive strength of the dry mix of NaOH showed 55% and the workability has dropped to 58.4%, it showed strength reduction compared to the wet mix method.

From decades it has been recognized that Geopolymer will considerably replace the role of cement in the construction industry. In general, Geopolymer exhibits the property of the peak compressive strength, minimal creep and shrinkage. In this current research paper, Geopolymer mortar is prepared by using GGBS and Fly ash. The mix proportions are of (100-60)%GGBS with Fly ash by 10% replacement. The alkali activators Na0H and Na2Sio3 are used in the study for two different molarities of 4&8. The ratio to Sodium silicates to sodium hydroxide is maintained from 1.5, 2, 2.5 & 3 were used. Mortars are prepared and studied the effect of molarities of alkali activators in their setting times and strengths

Block made of mud is a building material used in making wall for building that is made fromsand, cement, and fly ash using certain percentage mud in sand. This research aimed to know theeffect of the use of lapindo mud towards the compressive strength, the absorption of block waterwith the mud dosage in sand are: 0%, 10%, 20%, 30%, and 40%. This research was an experimentalresearch; each design was made in size 10x20x40 cm using 5% of fly ash and without fly ash.The result of this research showed that the highest compressive strength was raised in 10%mud in sand with 5% fly ash that was 195 kg/cm2 or increased about 3.44 kg/cm2 within increasingpercentage about 10.651% towards the compressive of block without lapindo mud with 5% of flyash, and was included in class I quality of block. While for the 30% and 40% mud percentage islower compared with normal compressive strength of block. The test result of water absorption oflapindo mud block showed the higher value than 20% for lapindo mud block with 5% fly ash, inframing the mud blocks as the wall, those blocks need to be soaked first because the absorptionvalue of block is higher than 20%. Lapindo mud block without 5% fly ash has bricks water absorptionless than 20%, while in framing those bricks, they don’t need to be soaked because the absorptionof brick if lower than 20%. By using fly ash in mud block, we can get the higher compressivestrength and the lower water absorption.Keyword: Porong Mud, Block, Fly Ash, Compressive Strength, Absorption

Geopolymer is a new class of three-dimensionally networked amorphous to semi-crystalline alumino-silicate materials, and first developed by Professor Joseph Davidovits in 1978. Geopolymers can be synthesized by mixing alumino–silicate reactive materials such as kaolin, metakaolin or pozzolans in strong alkaline solutions such as NaOH and KOH and then cured at room temperature. Heat treatment applied at higher temperatures may give better results. Depending on the mixture, the optimum temperature and duration vary 40-100 °C and 2-72 hours, respectively. The properties of geopolymeric paste depend on type of source material (fly ash, metakaolin, kaolin), type of activator (sodium silicate-sodium hydroxide, sodium silicate-potassium hydroxide), amount of activator, heat treatment temperature, and heat treatment duration. In this experimental investigation, geopolymeric bricks were produced by using F-type fly ash, sodium silicate, and sodium hydroxide solution. The bricks were treated at various temperatures for different hours. The compressive strength and density of F-type fly ash based geopolymeric bricks were determined at the ages of 7, 28 and 90 days. Test results have revealed that the compressive strength values of F-type fly ash based geobricks ranged between 5 and 60 MPa. It has been found that the effect of heat treatment temperature and heat treatment duration on the density of F-type fly ash based geobricks was not significant. It should be noted that the spherical particle size increased as the heat treatment temperature increased in the microstructure of F-type fly ash based geobricks treated in oven at the temperature of 60 °C for 24 hours.

Geopolymer concrete offers a favourable alternative to conventional Portland concrete due to its reduced embodied carbon dioxide (CO2) content. Engineering properties of geopolymer concrete, such as compressive strength, are commonly characterised based on experimental practices requiring large volumes of raw materials, time for sample preparation, and costly equipment. To help address this inefficiency, this study proposes machine learning-assisted numerical methods to predict compressive strength of fly ash-based geopolymer (FAGP) concrete. Methods assessed included artificial neural network (ANN), deep neural network (DNN), and deep residual network (ResNet), based on experimentally collected data. Performance of the proposed approaches were evaluated using various statistical measures including R-squared (R2), root mean square error (RMSE), and mean absolute percentage error (MAPE). Sensitivity analysis was carried out to identify effects of the following six input variables on the compressive strength of FAGP concrete: sodium hydroxide/sodium silicate ratio, fly ash/aggregate ratio, alkali activator/fly ash ratio, concentration of sodium hydroxide, curing time, and temperature. Fly ash/aggregate ratio was found to significantly affect compressive strength of FAGP concrete. Results obtained indicate that the proposed approaches offer reliable methods for FAGP design and optimisation. Of note was ResNet, which demonstrated the highest R2 and lowest RMSE and MAPE values.

The compressive strength in 7 d under different raw material proportion were tested. The result indicated that tailings and slag based geopolymers has high compressive strength . As the tailings in slag is 80%, the compressive strength in 7d can reach 45.10 MPa . As the Na2SiO3 to NaOH ratio is 0.5, the compressive strength in 7d can reach 63.79 MPa. As the NaOH and sodium silicate concentration in the solution is 35%, the compressive strength in 7d can reach 38.35 MPa respectively; As the curing period is 14 d , the compressive strength can reach 71.25 MPa.

This paper reports the results of an experimental work conducted to investigate the effect of curing conditions on the properties of fly ash-based geopolymer bricks prepared by using fly ash as base material and combination of sodium hydroxide and sodium silicate as alkaline activator. The experiments were conducted by varying the curing time in the range of 1-24 hours respectively. The specimens cured for a period of 24 hours have presented the highest compressive strength for all ratio of fly ash to sand. For increasing curing time improve compressive strength and decreasing water absorption.
