    Thermal Conductivity, Compressive Strength and Ultrasonic Wave Velocity of Cementitious Composite Containing Waste PET Lightweight Aggregate (WPLA)
    (Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2013-02) Akcaozoglu, Semiha; Akcaozoglu, Kubilay; Atis, Cengiz Duran
    In this study, the influence of waste PET as lightweight aggregate (WPLA) replacement with conventional aggregate, on thermal conductivity, unit weight and compressive strength properties of concrete composite was investigated. For this purpose, five different mixtures were prepared (the control mixtures and four WPLA mixtures including 30%, 40%, 50%, and 60% waste PET aggregate by volume). Thermal conductivity (TC) coefficients of the specimens were measured with guarded hot plate apparatus according to TS ISO 8302 [1]. The thermal conductivity coefficient, unit weight and compressive strength of specimens decreased as the amount of WPLA increased in concrete. The minimum thermal conductivity value was 0.3924 W/m K, observed at 60% WPLA replacement. From this result, it was concluded that waste PET aggregates replacement with conventional aggregate in the mixture showed better insulation properties (i.e. lower thermal coefficient). Due to the low unit weight and thermal conductivity values of WPLA composites, there is a potential of using WPLA composites in construction applications. (c) 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

    The Influence of Cement Kiln Dust on Strength and Durability Properties of Cement-Based Systems
    (Springer Heidelberg, 2022-06-06) Hakkomaz, Hadiye; Yorulmaz, Hediye; Durak, Ugur; Ilkentapar, Serhan; Karahan, Okan; Atis, Cengiz Duran
    There are very few studies in the literature on the usage of CKD in cementitious systems. This article presents the laboratory study results on the influence of cement kiln dust (CKD) on the properties of mortar made with cement kiln dust and Portland cement. The article aims to prevent CKD's (known as a hazardous waste product) damage to nature by utilizing CKD in cementitious systems and contributing to sustainability by reducing cement amount in the cementitious system. For this purpose, 5%, 10%, 15%, and 20% of CKD were replaced with cement and binary cementitious systems were formed. For all mortar mixes, the water/binder ratio was kept constant at 0.5, and the sand/binder ratio was 3. Workability, dry unit weight, water absorption ratio and porosity, flexural strength, compressive strength, abrasion, carbonation, and high-temperature resistance tests were performed on the mortar specimens. Based on the results of laboratory work, it was observed that the replacement of CKD with cement reduces the workability of fresh mortar. Compressive and flexural strengths of CKD-added mixtures were found to be equivalent or insignificantly lower than that of the control sample. The addition of CKD had a negligible effect on water absorption and porosity of samples. Besides, the residual compressive strength determined after the elevated temperature test for the sample made with CKD were found to be equivalent or higher compared to the control sample. Present laboratory studies showed that utilization of CKD in cementitious mortar system is feasible in terms of testing conducted.

    The Effects of Pyrite Ash on the Compressive Strength Properties of Briquettes
    (Korean Society of Civil Engineers-ksce, 2012-11) Sola, Ozlem Celik; Atis, Cengiz Duran
    The aim of this study is to investigate the utilization of Pyrite Ash (PA) in the production of briquettes as a replacement of clay or soil. To achieve this, first, the characterization of the materials used (clayey soil and pyrite ash) was made using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR/ATR). Particle size distribution and microstructure elemental analyses of these materials were also obtained using a particle size analyzer (Mastersizer) and a Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). Following the characterization of the materials, the samples of briquettes made with or without addition of PA were prepared and sintered at 950 and 1000A degrees C in the furnace. The PA replacement ratios with clayey soil were 0, 5, 10, 20% in mass basis (w/w). Compressive strength and bulk densities of briquettes produced were measured and the results were presented. Compressive strength results of the briquette samples indicated that pyrite ash containing briquettes with 35 MPa compressive strength, which was higher than the requirements of Turkish Standard Specification (TS EN 771-1), can be obtained. It is also recorded that for each mixture, compressive strength values obtained at 1000A degrees C were higher than that of obtained at 950A degrees C. XRD analyze was performed on sintered briquette sample made with 10% PA which have the highest compressive strength value. The XRD results showed that peaks are Quartz (SiO2), Hematite (Fe2O3), Ortoclase (KAlSi3O8), Albite (Na(AlSi3O8)), Anorthite (CaAl2Si2O8) and Gehlenite (2CaO.Al2O3.SiO2).

    The Effects of Different Types of Fly Ash on the Compressive Strength Properties of Briquettes
    (Hindawi Ltd, 2011) Sola, Ozlem Celik; Yayla, Murat; Sayin, Baris; Atis, Cengiz Duran; Duran Atiş, Cengiz; Sayin, Bariş
    The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of the different types of fly ash on the compressive strength properties of sintered briquettes. Thermal gravimetric (TG) analysis was carried out. The chemical composition and physical properties of the materials used were determined. Particle size distribution and microstructure elemental analyses of the materials used were carried out by a particle size analyzer (Mastersizer) and a scanning electron microscope (SEM-EDS). Following the characterization of the materials, briquettes were prepared by sintering at different temperatures. Compressive strength test results of the briquette samples indicated that briquettes with a compressive strength value of 47.45 N/mm(2) can be produced. The results obtained exceed the Turkish standard (TS EN 771-1) requirements (9.8-23.54 N/mm(2)). SEM-EDS results showed that briquette samples made with Tuncbilek (T) fly ash had a higher percentage of the glassy phase than the other briquette samples. Due to this microstructure, it results in higher compressive strength value.

    Reaction Kinetics and Properties of Pumice-Based Geopolymer Systems Cured at Room Temperature
    (Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2023-12) Kucukyildirim, Enver; Yorulmaz, Hediye; Durak, Ugur; Ilkentapar, Serhan; Uzal, Burak; Karahan, Okan; Atis, Cengiz Duran
    This research investigated the kinetics of pumice-based geopolymer systems and their physical and mechanical properties. The effect of the Na2SiO3/NaOH ratio of geopolymer systems on the rate of heat evolution and total heat of reaction were examined via isothermal calorimetry of geopolymer pastes prepared with Na2SiO3/NaOH ratios of 2.5, 3, and 3.5. Hardened pastes were also studied with thermo-gravimetric analysis to determine weight loss. In addition, the unit weights and compressive strengths of the pastes prepared using pumice were measured. Although the hydration process starts the earliest in pumice-based geopolymer pastes with a Na2SiO3/ NaOH ratio of 2, they have the lowest total hydration temperature. Na2SiO3/NaOH ratio of 2.5 by mass, shows higher weight loss obtained from TGA results. The compressive strength of the paste sample, prepared with a Na2SiO3/NaOH ratio of 3.5 by mass, was the highest, with 36.30 MPa at 28d. Depending on the Na2SiO3/NaOH ratio, it is thought that as the amount of Na2SiO3 increases in the samples, silica gel formation increases in later ages.

    Influence of NaNo SiO2 and NaNo CaCo3 Particles on Strength, Workability, and Microstructural Properties of Fly Ash-Based Geopolymer
    (Ernst & Sohn, 2020-05-06) Durak, Ugur; Karahan, Okan; Uzal, Burak; Ilkentapar, Serhan; Atis, Cengiz Duran
    The influence of nano SiO2(NS) and CaCO3(NC) particles on the properties of class F fly ash based geopolymer mortar activated with different sodium ion concentrations have been investigated. Mortar mixture proportions were 1:3:0.3 for binder, sand, and water, respectively. Nano SiO2 and CaCO3 particles were replaced with a binder by weight basis at the ratios of 1, 2, and 3% in the mixtures. Sodium concentrations amount used were 8, 10, and 12% Na+ of binder content. Geopolymer mortar samples were cured at 60, 75, and 90 degrees C in a furnace for 24, 48, and 72 hr. After the heat curing process, flexural, and compressive strength tests were performed. The changes in the microstructure of geopolymer due to influence of nanoparticles were examined by utilizing isothermal calorimetric studies on geopolymer paste, and field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM). Based on laboratory work results, it was concluded that for all sodium ion concentrations, the addition of nano SiO2 and CaCO3 particles improved the flexural and compressive strengths after 24 hr heat curing. However, the favorable effects of nanoparticles on strength properties tend to disappear after 48 and 72 hr heat curing. The results of isothermal calorimetric studies showed that nano SiO2 and CaCO3 particles accelerated the geopolymeric reactions at an early age. FESEM results showed that additions of nanoparticles made the microstructure of geopolymer products more intense and compact.

    Influence of Admixtures on the Properties of Alkali-Activated Slag Mortars Subjected to Different Curing Conditions
    (Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2013-02) Bilim, Cahit; Karahan, Okan; Atis, Cengiz Duran; Ilkentapar, Serhan
    This paper presents the influence of shrinkage-reducing (SHR) and superplasticizing and set-retarding admixtures (SSRe) on the properties of slag pastes and mortars activated by liquid sodium silicate with different dosage and modulus ratio. Properties in the fresh and hardened state for these binders were investigated by means of measuring some properties including setting time, flowability, flexural strength, compressive strength, carbonation and shrinkage. In this study, fifteen pastes and mortars were prepared. Liquid sodium silicate was used to activate the slag at two sodium concentrations, 4% and 6% by mass of slag. Liquid sodium silicate and sodium hydroxide were blended to obtain 0.75 and 1 modulus ratio of SiO2/Na2O. Results showed that although the higher percentage of sodium in the activator produced a higher strength, workability and setting times rapidly decreased with the higher sodium concentration due to instantaneous reaction and quick hardening of slag activated by liquid sodium silicate. None of the admixtures generally had an impact on the setting times of alkali-activated slag (AAS) pastes. SSRe admixture increased the flow rate of AAS mortars while SHR admixture partially affected the flow values of AAS mortars. SHR admixture exhibited a slight decrease in the carbonation depths of AAS mortars. SSRe and particularly SHR chemical admixtures reduced the shrinkage of AAS mortars. However, the shrinkage values of AAS mortars still were higher than those of ordinary Portland cement (NPC) mortars. Curing conditions had a significant effect on the mechanical behavior in the hardened state of AAS mortars compared to NPC mortars. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

    Evaluation of Diatomite Substitute With Thermal Power Plant Waste Fly Ash in Sustainable Geopolymer Through Life Cycle Assessment
    (Springer, 2025-02-28) Ilkentapar, Serhan; Orklemez, Ezgi; Durak, Ugur; Gulcimen, Sedat; Bayram, Savas; Uzal, Nigmet; Atis, Cengiz Duran
    This research demonstrates the potential of diatomite as a fly ash replacement to improve mechanical properties and environmental sustainability and presents it as a viable alternative for sustainable construction. Additionally, a life cycle assessment (LCA) was conducted on the produced mortars to quantitatively compare their environmental impacts using a cradle-to-gate approach. In mixtures, it was used by replacing the diatomite in the ratios of 1%, 2%, 3%, 4%, and 5% by weight of the fly ash. Workability, unit weight, flexural and compressive strength, abrasion resistance, elevated temperature resistance and microstructure analysis were carried out. The results indicated that replacing 1%, 2%, and 3% diatomite increased the compressive and flexural strength of mortars due to their higher specific surface area. Two percent replacement of diatomite provided the best results. FESEM results of 3% diatomite inclusion showed more intense and compact microstructure of geopolymer. Diatomite inclusion increased the abrasion resistance of geopolymer. Since 2% diatomite replacement was found to be optimum, the LCA results showed that geopolymer mortar with 2% diatomite has 25% lower impacts in terms of global warming potential and 10% lower impacts in terms of terrestrial ecotoxicity than conventional Portland cement mortar.

    Effect of Nano-SiO2 on Strength and Hydration Characteristics of Ternary Cementitious Systems
    (Springer Heidelberg, 2023-05-31) Yorulmaz, Hediye; Uzal, Burak; Karahan, Okan; Durak, Ugur; Ilkentapar, Serhan; Atis, Cengiz Duran
    This paper shows results of laboratory study on the effects of nano-SiO2 on Portland cement-fly ash systems. It is aimed to improve performance of fly ash-cement systems, particularly at early age, with the inclusion of nano-SiO2. In order to observe the effects of nano-SiO2 particles on the strength and hydration kinetics of fly ash blended cementitious systems, binary and ternary systems were prepared by adding 0.25-1.5% nano-SiO2 by weight of blended cements. Workability, setting time, water absorption capacity, fire resistance, compressive strength and isothermal calorimeter tests were conducted on the cementitious systems. The results indicate that increasing quantity of fly ash increased workability, setting time, water absorption capacity of cementitious systems, whereas the increasing quantity of nano-SiO2 reduced these values. Significant increment in compressive strength were observed, especially at early ages of fly ash-cement systems with nano-SiO2 addition, compared to fly ash added systems, which may compensate for the decrease in compressive strength caused by fly ash. Nano-SiO2 addition accelerated hydration reactions at early age. By partially eliminating the negative effects of fly ash with nano-SiO2, high rates of fly ash can be used in cementitious systems, thus forming more sustainable systems.
