A geopolymer has been reckoned as a rising technology with huge potential for application across the globe. Dolomite refers to a material that can be used raw in producing geopolymers. Nevertheless, dolomite has slow strength development due to its low reactivity as a geopolymer. In this study, dolomite/fly ash (DFA) geopolymer composites were produced with dolomite, fly ash, sodium hydroxide, and liquid sodium silicate. A compression test was carried out on DFA geopolymers to determine the strength of the composite, while a synchrotron Micro-Xray Fluorescence (Micro-XRF) test was performed to assess the elemental distribution in the geopolymer composite. The temperature applied in this study generated promising properties of DFA geopolymers, especially in strength, which displayed increments up to 74.48 MPa as the optimum value. Heat seemed to enhance the strength development of DFA geopolymer composites. The elemental distribution analysis revealed exceptional outcomes for the composites, particularly exposure up to 400 °C, which signified the homogeneity of the DFA composites. Temperatures exceeding 400 °C accelerated the strength development, thus increasing the strength of the DFA composites. This appears to be unique because the strength of ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) and other geopolymers composed of other raw materials is typically either maintained or decreases due to increased heat.

<p>We are carrying out a construction project of new railroad viaducts. These new railroad viaducts are constructing using about 110,000 m<span>3</span> volume concrete. In this construction place, it is difficult for us to get low ASR-reactive aggregates and it is expected to be supplied with snowmelt water on the viaducts in winter. Then we tested ASR-reactive these local aggregates and found an effective mixed ratio of fly-ash is 20% of cement. On the other hand, various side effects were also expected by using fly-ash. For example, initial cracking due to contraction, early strength concrete, bleeding, etc. Therefore, we repeated various tests and examined and carried out a method that could ensure the same construction method and quality as when using ordinary Portland cement, even with fly-ash. Also, we adopted a structure that is unlikely to be affected by rainwater as a structural measure. For example, the entire adoption of a ramen type viaduct that has eliminated bearings, adoption of FRP sound barrier, etc. Then we made it possible to build highly durable railway viaducts by these various measures of materials and structures.</p>
