This research focuses on developing a mix design methodology for alkali-activated high-calcium fly ash concrete (AAHFAC). High-calcium fly ash (FA) from the Mae Moh power plant in northern Thailand was used as a starting material. Sodium hydroxide and sodium silicate were used as alkaline activator solutions (AAS). Many parameters, namely, NaOH concentration, alkaline activator solution-to-fly ash (AAS/FA) ratio, and coarse aggregate size, were investigated. The 28-day compressive strength was tested to validate the mix design proposed. The mix design methodology of the proposed AAHFAC mixes was given step by step, and it was modified from ACI standards. Test results showed that the 28-day compressive strength of 15–35 MPa was obtained. After modifying mix design of the AAHFAC mixes by updating the AAS/FA ratio from laboratory experiments, it was found that they met the strength requirement.

Cement is one of the construction materials widely used around the world in order to develop infrastructure and it is also one of the factors affecting economies. The production of cement consumes a lot of raw materials like limestone, which releases CO2 into the atmosphere and thus leads to global warming. Many investigations are underway in this area, essentially focusing on the eco-accommodating environment. In the research, an alternative material to cement binder is geopolymer binder, with the same efficiency. This paper presents scanning electron microscope (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis of factory byproducts (i.e., fly ash and ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBFS)). The mix design process for the manufacture of alkali-activated geopolymer binders synthesized by fly ash and GGBFS is presented. The mechanical properties (compression, split tensile and flexural strength, bond strength) of geopolymer concrete at different mix proportions and at dissimilar curing conditions were also investigated. Geopolymer concrete synthesized with 30% fly ash and 70% GGBFS has better properties at 14 M of NaOH and cured in an oven for 24 h at 70 °C.
