With improve the quality of concrete is by using the addition of admixture. By adding admixture Silica fume and superplasticizer is expected to improve concrete quality in concrete using fly ash and bottom ash. The main objective of this research is to know the value of concrete compressive strength, slump test value, fresh concrete temperature and setting time in concrete using fly ash and bottom ash by 0%, 5%, 10%, 15%, 20% and 25% by weight of cement, with variations of silica fume 0%, 2%, 4%, 6 %, 8%, 10% of the weight of cement that has been reduced by the weight of fly ash and bottom ash and added with superplasticizer of 2% of the water requirement. The planned concrete quality was 41.7 MPa at 28 days, with the sample tested at age 7, 14, 28 days. Based on the results of the highest concrete compressive strength test for fly ash concrete (fly ash) is found in FA mixture variation 10%, SP 4%, SF 2% that is equal to 56,16 MPa. And for mixed bottom ash the highest compressive strength on mixed variation of BA 5%, SF 2%, SP 2% is equal to 49,82 MPa. Fresh concrete temperature variation of FA mixture 5%, SF 2%, SP 2% and BA 5%, SF 2%, SP 2% rose one degree from normal concrete temperature. Setting time generated on mixed concrete FA 5%, SF 2%, SP 2% has the fastest initial time setting ie 251 minutes of all variations of concrete mix.

Geopolymer (GP) has been applied as an environmentally-friendly construction material in recent years. Many pozzolanic wastes, such as fly ash (FA) and bottom ash, are commonly used as source materials for synthesizing geopolymer. Nonetheless, many non-pozzolanic wastes are often applied in the field of civil engineering, including waste iron powder (WIP). WIPs are massively produced as by-products from iron and steel industries, and the production rate increases every year. As an iron-based material, WIP has properties of heat induction and restoration, which can enhance the heat curing process of GP. Therefore, this study aimed to utilize WIP in high-calcium FA geopolymer to develop a new type of geopolymer and examine its properties compared to the conventional geopolymer. Scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction were performed on the geopolymers. Mechanical properties, including compressive strength and flexural strength, were also determined. In addition, setting time and temperature monitoring during the heat curing process were carried out. The results indicated that the addition of WIP in FA geopolymer decreased the compressive strength, owing to the formation of tetrahydroxoferrate (II) sodium or Na2[Fe(OH)4]. However, a significant increase in the flexural strength of GP with WIP addition was detected. A flexural strength of 8.5 MPa was achieved by a 28-day sample with 20% of WIP addition, nearly three times higher than that of control.

The effects of replacing high calcium fly ash with containment glass powder and limestone powder in the geopolymer are investigated in this paper. The high calcium fly ash was replaced by either glass powder or limestone powder at 20% and 40% by weight. The geopolymer paste was tested for setting time and compressive strength and evaluated of its microstructure on SEM, XRD, FTIR, and MIP. The results indicated that the setting time of geopolymer paste was increased with the replacement of glass powder and reduced by replacement of limestone powder. The compressive strengths were generally higher than those of controls. The maximum increase of compressive strength was 33% when replaced fly ash with 20% of glass powder at 8 molar NaOH concentration of sodium hydroxide solution. The microstructure evaluations show the remaining particles of raw materials and the compatible of hydration reaction and polymerization when having limestone powder in the mix proportion. Furthermore, the powder acts as a filler in the gels.

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.

This paper presents the results of an experimental study on the behavior of fly ash-, bottom ash-, and blended fly and bottom ash-based geopolymer concrete (GPC) cured at ambient temperature. Four bathes of GPC were manufactured to investigate the influence of the fly ash-to-bottom ash mass ratio on the microstructure, compressive strength and elastic modulus of GPC. All the results indicate that the mass ratio of fly ash-to-bottom ash significantly affects the microstructure and mechanical properties of GPCs
