Fly Ash-based Geopolymer Concrete
Abstract: To reduce greenhouse gas emissions, efforts are needed to develop eco-friendly construction materials. In geopolymer concrete, a by-product material rich in silicon and aluminum, such as low-calcium (American Society for Testing and Materials 618 Class F) fly ash, is chemically activated by a high-alkaline solution to form a paste that binds the loose coarse and fine aggregates, and other unreacted materials in the mixture. The test results show the effects …
