    Effect of Granulated Blast Furnace Slag and Fly Ash Addition on the Strength Properties of Lightweight Mortars Containing Waste PET Aggregates
    (Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2011-10) Akcaozoglu, Semiha; Atis, Cengiz Duran; Akaözolu, Semiha; Ati, Cengiz Duran
    In this work, the effect of Granulated Blast Furnace Slag (GBFS) and fly ash (FA) addition on the strength properties of lightweight mortars containing waste Poly-ethylene Terephthalate (PET) bottle aggregates was investigated. Investigation was carried out on three groups of mortar specimens. One made with only Normal Portland cement (NPC) as binder, second made with NPC and GBFS together and, third made with NPC and FA together. The industrial wastes mentioned above were used as the replacement of cement on mass basis at the replacement ratio of 50%. The size of shredded PET granules used as aggregate for the preparation of mortar mixtures were between 0 and 4 mm. The waste lightweight PET aggregate (WPLA)-binder ratio (WPLA/b) was 0.60; the water-binder (w/b) ratios were determined as 0.45 and 0.50. The dry unit weight, compressive and flexural-tensile strengths, carbonation depths and drying shrinkage values were measured and presented. The results have shown that modifying GBFS had positive effects on the compressive strength and drying shrinkage values (after 90 days) of the WPLA mortars. However, FA substitution decreased compressive and flexural-tensile strengths and increased carbonation depths. Nevertheless a visible reduction occurred on the drying shrinkage values of FA modifying specimens more than cement specimens and GBFS modified specimens. The test results indicated that, GBFS has a potential of using as the replacement of cement on the WPLA mortars by taking into consideration the characteristics. But using FA as a binder at the replacement ratio of 50% did not improve the overall strength properties. Although it was thought that, using FA as binder at the replacement ratio of 50% for the aim of production WPLA concrete which has a specific strength, would provide advantages of economical and ecological aspects.

    A New Parameter Influencing the Reaction Kinetics and Properties of Fly Ash Based Geopolymers: A Pre-Rest Period Before Heat Curing
    (Elsevier, 2021-03) Durak, Ugur; Ilkentapar, Serhan; Karahan, Okan; Uzal, Burak; Atis, Cengiz Duran
    In this study, the influence of a pre-rest period before heat curing (as a new parameter), on the physical properties, flexural and compressive strength, and microstructure of geopolymer mortars and pastes produced with alkali activation of fly ash were investigated. In this context, geopolymer mortar and paste samples were prepared and pre-rested under laboratory conditions for 0, 1, 2, 3, 7, 14, and 28 days before heat curing. After the pre-rest period, the samples were subjected to heat curing at 75 degrees C in an oven, for 2 days. Mortar and paste samples exposed to a pre-rest period while in the fresh state before heat curing were compared with control samples without pre-resting. Water absorption, porosity, specific gravity, capillarity, flexural strength, compressive strength, and abrasion resistance tests were conducted on the geopolymer mortar samples. A reaction kinetics study using an isothermal calorimeter, XRD, and SEM analyses were performed on the geopolymer paste samples for microstructural investigations. Based on the results obtained, it was observed that the mechanical strength of the samples subjected to the pre-rest period before heat curing increased considerably compared to the reference (without pre-resting) samples. In addition, because of pre-resting, the capillarity coefficient, water permeability, and porosity of the samples decreased compared to the reference samples, and it was concluded that pre-resting improves durability-related properties. Moreover, the reaction kinetics and SEM analysis results, supporting the above findings, showed that a pre-resting period increases the geopolymeric reaction products and causes a denser microstructure.

    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.
