Effect of Alkali Activator Concentrations and Elevated Temperature Curing Regimes on The Strength of Fly Ash Based Geopolymer Mortar

Abstract

Geopolymers have received considerable attention due to their properties and applications as environmentally friendly alternatives to ordinary Portland cement. Geopolymer mortar (GM) is an emerging alternative to ordinary Portland cement mortar (OPCM) and is produced via a polycondensation reaction between aluminosilicate source materials and an alkaline solution. As a relatively new material, many engineering properties of geopolymer mortar are still undetermined. In this study, the compressive strength, have been studied experimentally. A total of 12 geopolymer mix mortar were tested for the abovementioned characteristics. The experimental data was analysed by an analysis of variance (ANOVA) utilizing MINITAB16 statistical software. This method establishes the magnitude of the total variation in the results and distinguishes the random variation from the contribution of each variable. Based on ANOVA results, all the level of significance values was determined to be less than 0.05 which indicates the independent variables are effective on compressive strength of geopolymer mortars.
