Experimental Investigation on Blended Geopolymer Composite

Abstract

Present study was leaning towards the performance of geopolymer, optimization of strength, newlinechoice of supplementary materials, choice of combination of oxides in activator solution and newlinecombinations, choice of curing profile. Present research deals with the incorporation of newlinesupplementary materials to improve the performance of fly ash based geopolymer. Base material newlineused is fly ash / fly ash blended with potassium feldspar and blast furnace slag. The study was newlinefocused on use of activator/combination of two activating chemicals, performance evaluation of newlinefly ash based blended geopolymer and rice husk ash based blended geopolymer. The impact of newlineelevated temperature on performance of fly ash based potassium feldspar incorporated geopolymer newlinepaste was also studied. Performance of combination of oxides in activator solution was examined newlinewith blended base material. The incorporation of supplementary materials and its positive effect on newlinestrength, curing regime and performance, were investigated newline
