The use of geopolymer binder as cement replacement material can reduce the amount of carbon dioxide gas produced during the Portland Cement manufacturing process. However, the main issue of geopolymer binder is in the mixing process of sodium silicate and NaOH which requires specialized knowledge and strict supervision. This paper reports the effect of water binder ratio on strength development of fly ash geopolymer mortar using dry geopolymer powder. Fly ash with high calcium content was used as primary material. The dry geopolymer powder was prepared by wet mixing method which was made by drying a mixture of NaOH solution and limestone for 24 hours. The variations of water to binder ratio were 0.30, 0.35, 0.40, 0.45, and 0.50. Strength properties were measured by compressive strength at the age of 7, 14 and 28 days. The results showed that the water binder ratio significantly affect the strength development of geopolymer mortar prepared by dry geopolymer powder. The water binder ratio of 0.40 gives the highest compressive strength of 10.3 MPa at 28 days. This suggests that the use of dry geopolymer powder on geopolymer mortar production can overcome the difficulties of geopolymer mortar mixing on site.

Geopolymer Binder

Performance of geopolymer based specimens is significantly affected by internal and external aspects. Curing temperature and air humidity are among the prominent external factors that contribute to the alteration of geopolymer properties. Nevertheless, internal component of geopolymer binder also carries essential effect to the hardened geopolymer binder produced. In this research, the study was concentrated on the elemental composition of source material components and their interrelation to the performance of geopolymer binder produced. Different types of fly ash were used as the source material in this research. Low calcium (class-F) fly ash was combined with high calcium (class-C) fly ash to determine the elemental composition effect, particularly SiO2, Al2O3, and CaO to the geopolymer properties. Analysis using SYSTAT statistical software indicated the importance of oxide composition of source material to the geopolymer specimens produced. Initial setting time of geopolymer paste was also possibly important to the compressive strength of geopolymer specimens produced. Nevertheless, final setting time indicated less importance to the compressive strength development of geopolymer binder.

A great deal of experiments have been carried out in this study to reveal the effect of the water-binder ratio and fly ash content on the workability and strengths of GHPC (green high performance concrete). The workability of GHPC was evaluated by slump and slump flow. The strengths include compressive strength and splitting tensile strength. The results indicate that the increase of water-binder ratio can improve the workability of GHPC, however the strengths of GHPC were decreased with the increase of water-binder ratio. When the fly ash content is lower than 40%, the increase in fly ash content has positive effect on workability of GHPC, while the workability begins to decrease after the fly ash content is more than 40%. The addition of fly ash in GHPC has adverse effect on the strengths, and there is a tendency of decrease in the compressive strength and splitting tensile strength of GHPC with the increase of fly ash content.

One-part or “just add water” geopolymer is a cementitious material, which is friendly to environment and users in applications. However, the mechanical behavior of the soft soil stabilized by one-part geopolymer is not well acknowledged. In this study, soft clay was stabilized with ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBFS) and fly ash (FA)-based geopolymer, which is a mixture of solid aluminosilicate precursor (Al-Si raw materials: GGBFS and FA), solid alkali activator, and water. The objective was to adopt one-part geopolymer as an alternative soil binder to completely replace ordinary Portland cement (OPC) for stabilizing the soft clay and evaluate the effect of the factors (i.e., GBFS/FA ratio in Al-Si precursor, activator/Al-Si precursor ratio, and water/binder ratio) that influenced the early strength. Results showed that the increase of the FA content in the Al-Si precursor increased the unconfined compressive strength (UCS) values significantly through the geopolymerization process. The highest UCS values were achieved with 90% GGBFS to 10% FA in the precursor when the activator/precursor and water/binder ratio is 0.15 and 0.7, respectively. The UCS values of geopolymer-stabilized clay could reach 1.5 MPa at 14 days at ambient temperature, which is much higher than that of OPC-stabilized clay. The microstructure and mineralogy analyses indicated that the prolific hydration products, such as calcium silicate hydrate (C-S-H), calcium aluminum hydrate (C-A-H), and calcium aluminum silicate hydrate (C-A-S-H), contributed greatly to strengthen the soft clay by forming the soil skeleton and infilling among clay particles, while sodium aluminosilicate (N-A-S-H) gel is only served to fill the part of porosities in the soil and cannot effectively enhance the UCS of the one-part geopolymer-stabilized soft clay. This paper results suggested that one-part GGBFS-FA–based geopolymers have the potential to replace OPC in the manufacture of stabilized soft clay.

The aim of this paper is to investigate the effects of mix proportion on electrical resistivity of concrete with fly ash. The electrical resistivity of concrete is measured by using four Wenner probes. The varied parameters in this study were water/binder ratio, fly ash content, and paste content. Electrical resistivity of water-saturated concrete at several different ages was studied and compared with compressive strength and rapid chloride penetration. Based on experimental results, a good relationship was obtained between results of compressive strength and rapid chloride penetration with electrical resistivity of concrete. The results of this study can be applied further to predict electrical resistivity of concrete when mix proportions are provided. According to the results, lower water/binder ratio concrete had higher resistivity than those with higher water/binder ratios. When cement was replaced at 40% by fly ash, electrical resistivity increased four times when compared to that of OPC concrete.

Effect of quantity and quality of fly ash and compressive strength of concretes with their addition on abrasion resistance previously subjected to scaling is analyzed in the paper. The abrasion resistance was measured in Böhme test according to EN 1338: 2005. The cement was replaced with 20, 35, and 50% of Class F siliceous fly ash in three categories of losses on ignition A, B and C by mass. The water-binder ratio, the air-entrainment and the workability of mixtures were maintained constant at 0.38, 4,5% and 150 mm respectively.Prior scaling causes a decrease in abrasion resistance of fly ash concretes. In addition, both quantitative and qualitative fly ash parameters and compressive strength have an influence on abrasion damage.

Sulfoaluminate cement (SAC) was utilized for the solidification/stabilization of fly ash from municipal solid waste (MSW) incinerators. The effects of fly ash amount and water/binder ratio were investigated on compressive strength and heavy metals leaching toxicity of solidified matrices at different curing times. The results showed that prolonged curing time, lower fly ash amount and water/binder ratio enhanced the compressive strength and decreased the leaching concentrations of Zn, Pb and Cu. For 28 days cured matrices with fly ash amount 50% and water/binder ratio 0.30, the compressive strength was 32.6 MPa and the leaching concentrations of Zn, Pb and Cu were 14.73, 0.75 and 0.43 mg/L respectively. The leaching concentrations of Zn, Pb and Cu met the demand of GB 5085.3-2007. SAC is proved to be effective for MSW incinerator fly ash solidification/stabilization and high performance matrices for disposal and reuse may be achieved with further formula optimization.

Fly ash-based geopolymer mortar normally achieves expected properties by heat curing. This becomes one of the obstacles for in-situ applications. The development of high calcium fly ash-based geopolymer mortar, suitable for ambient curing, will gain the applicability of such a material in civil structures. This article reports the results of an experimental study on mortar workability and the increasing of compressive strength of class C fly ash-based geopolymer mortar created in ambient curing condition. The main synthesis parameters such as alkali to the cementitious mass ratio varied from 30% to 40% by an increment of 5% and absolute volume of paste to absolute volume of voids of the aggregate ratio varied from 1 to 2 by an increment of 0.25. These parameters were designed to figure out their individual effects on mortar workability and the mechanical properties for the production of geopolymer mortar. The results suggested that the workability of mortar generally increased by using alkali to the cementitious mass ratio. The compressive strength of 60 MPa and the direct tensile strength of 2.8 MPa, the ratio of alkali to the cementitious mass of 0.35 and absolute volume of paste to absolute volume of voids of the aggregate ratio was 1.5; it was obtained at ambient temperature after 28 days of age. The results will be useful for developing the knowledge for the use of class C fly ash in producing geopolymer concrete, which is currently in progress. Hopefully, this contribution of research will improve the applications of such new binding material in the future.

The influence of water binder ratio, content of borax and fly ash on the fluidity and strength of phosphate concrete were investigated. Results showed that the slump and slump flow of phosphate concrete improved with content of water and borax increasing. But the strength decreased, especially early strength. While the mixing amount of borax was less than 1.5% of the magnesium phosphate cement, the influence on later strength was relatively less. The fluidity decreased significantly and the cohesiveness and water retention improved while the content of fly ash was between 10% and 30%.The compressive strength increased while the content of fly ash was 10%.The better curing methods was curing in the natural conditions, the compressive increased with the age prolonged.
