    Comprehensive Analysis of Experimental and Numerical Results of Bond Strength and Mechanical Properties of Fly Ash Based GPC and OPC Concrete

    Nowadays, materials in the more environmentally friendly waste product class, which can be an alternative to standard Portland cement (OPC), are frequently used by researchers in concrete production. One of these, namely fly ash-based geopolymer concrete (GPC), should demonstrate its superiority over OPC in terms of chemical and mechanical properties to enhance its utilization. One of the mechanical properties of GPC is the bond strength between reinforcement and concrete. In this study, it was aimed to obtain bond strengths by performing tensile tests on GPC samples with varying sodium silicate/sodium hydroxide (SS/SH) and alkaline activator/fly ash (AA/FA) ratios. A pull-out experimental setup was prepared in accordance with RILEM Standard. Experimental results were compared with numerical results obtained from finite element models designed in ABAQUS software and were found to be compatible. When evaluated in terms of peak load and max bond stress values, GPC is superior to OPC. Compared to OPC an increase in the SS/SH ratio enhances mechanical properties such as compressive strength and bond load, whereas an increase in the AA/FA ratio with a value of 0.7 in the series has the opposite effect. In the finite element models, stress values are higher in samples with an AA/FA ratio of 0.5 compared to other ratios. An increase in the AA/FA ratio leads to a decrease in stress values. The analytical results are demonstrated that the proposed model can be utilized to assess the bond strength performance between traditional reinforced concrete and fly ash-based geopolymer concrete. Additionally, as a result of experimental studies, a formula that can be used to estimate bond strength based on GPC compressive strength and shows the superiority of GPC compared to studies in the literature has been proposed.

    Comprehensive Experimental Analysis of the Effects of Elevated Temperatures in Geopolymer Concretes With Variable Alkali Activator Ratios
    (Elsevier, 2023) Ozbayrak, Ahmet; Kucukgoncu, Hurmet; Aslanbay, Huseyin Hilmi; Aslanbay, Yuksel Gul; Atas, Oguzhan
    By growing population and rapid urbanization, demand for concrete increases exponentially. Researches on use of fly ash material in waste product class for concrete production are important to produce concrete more environmentally friendly. However, there is a need for more research to use geopolymer concrete (GPC) in every field where ordinary Portland cement concrete (OPC) is used. Therefore, it is crucial to experimentally investigate thermal properties as well as me-chanical properties of geopolymer concrete. As investigated thermal properties, the main factor affecting strength development of GPC is alkali activator ratios. In this study, GPC prism samples with nine different compositions, produced by various alkali ratios. After flexural strength tests, they were cut into cubes and exposed to 400 degrees C, 600 degrees C and 800 degrees C, then they were subjected to compressive strength tests. Results obtained from different AA/FA and SS/SH ratios were eval-uated as mechanical properties at ambient temperature and physical, mechanical and micro-structural properties at elevated temperature. An empirical formula, which considers the effect of activator ratios, was proposed to calculate flexural strength depending on compressive strength of samples at ambient temperature. As an increase of SS/SH and AA/FA ratios, compressive strength increased, while flexural strength decreased. The increase in AA/FA ratio decreased compressive strength of samples exposed to high temperatures, while increase in SS/SH ratio did not deter-mine at elevated temperatures. There is an inverse change with AA/FA ratio and parallel change with SS/SH ratio between compressive strengths of samples at ambient temperature and exposed to high temperature.
