Abstract Pioneering studies have been conducted on alternative cementitious material in the manufacturing of conventional concrete to reduce carbon emission and improve overall efficacy. However, there are limited eco-friendly materials with low calcium fly ash. This study aims examine strength ash geopolymer emission. In this investigation, flexural test is done for (GPC) beam samples after fu...

Recently, geopolymer binders have been considered because of low cost, simple processes for synthesis and many raw materials in nature. Geopolymer with brittle nature does not have high strength and cannot be used alone for structural materials. Therefore, to use in different structures, the composite which is reinforced with fibers such as carbon, glass, basalt, etchasbeen used. In this resear...

Solar energy is an intermittent source that faces a substantial challenge for its power dispatchability. Hence, concentrating solar (CSP) plants and process heat (SPH) applications employ thermal storage (TES) technologies as link between generation optimal load distribution. Ordinary Portland cement (OPC)-based materials are widely used in sensible TES, but their use limited to operation tempe...

Due to the large contribution of cement production towards CO2 emission and rising concerns regarding climate change, substitution with alternative binders has become an established improve sustainability. Aluminosiliceous polymeric materials, known as geopolymer or alkali activated have been proven achieve a performance good even superior ordinary Portland (OPC). Various source materials poten...

Abstract Damages that often emerge in concrete include cracks, delamination, spalling, wear, fracture, porous, voids (perforated). These damages need to be repaired, one of which is by patch repair. With consideration strength and frugality, a self-made repair material was developed using mortar as base material, i.e., geopolymer mortar. Geopolymer with natural materials have high content silic...

Geopolymer is a new alternative cement binder to produce concrete. In the present study, novel geopolymer composites containing bamboo shaving (0–2 wt.%) were fabricated and exposed temperatures of 200°C, 400°C, 600°C 800°C. Physical properties, micro-structure, mechanical strengths evaluated before after heating in order understand their thermal which are essential for use as building material...
