Geopolymer Concrete, Alccofine, Crumb Rubber Aggregates, Copper Slag Aggregates, Chloride Ion Resistance, Sorptivity, ANOVAAbstract [English]
This study focused on the production of ambient cured sustainable geopolymer concrete (GPC), utilising industrial by-products, including fly ash and alccofine, as well as partially incorporating recycled aggregates, a 50:50 mix of crumb rubber aggregates and copper slag aggregates, given a combined name of crumb-slag aggregates (CSA) as fine aggregates replacement (up to 30% by weight). The raw binders were activated using a mixture of sodium silicate (SS) and sodium hydroxide (SH). Results indicated that the compressive strength improved with CSA substitution up to 20%, and the highest compressive strength achieved was 58.57 MPa at 365 days. The highest chloride penetration resistance (576 C), the lowest water absorption (4.93%) and the sorptivity (0.0040 mm/sec1/2) were also noticed for the same mix at 365 days, indicating improved durability. It was concluded that recycled CSA mix could be used as a substitution for fine aggregates to produce concrete with improved strength and durability.
