Thermal analysis of geopolymer pastes synthesised from five fly ashes of variable composition
Rickard, William D.A.,Temuujin, Jadambaa,van Riessen, Arie Elsevier 2012 Journal of non-crystalline solids Vol.358 No.15
<P><B>Abstract</B></P><P>This paper presents a study on the thermal properties of a range of geopolymers in order to assess their suitability for high temperature applications such as thermal barriers, refractories and fire resistant structural members. Geopolymers were synthesised from five different fly ashes using sodium silicate and sodium aluminate solutions to achieve a set range of Si:Al compositional ratios. The thermo-physical, mechanical and microstructural properties of the geopolymers are presented and the effect of the source fly ash characteristics on the hardened product is discussed, as well as implications for high temperature applications. The amount and composition of the amorphous component (glass) of each of the fly ashes was determined by combining XRD and XRF results. It was found that the Si:Al ratio in the glass of the fly ashes strongly influenced the thermal performance of the geopolymers. Geopolymers synthesised from fly ashes with a high Si:Al (≥5) in the glass exhibited compressive strength gains and greater dimensional stability upon exposure to 1000°C, whereas geopolymers synthesised from fly ashes with low Si:Al (<2) in the glass exhibited strength losses and reduced dimensional stability upon high temperature exposure.</P> <P><B>Highlights</B></P><P>► Quantification of the crystalline and amorphous phases of five different fly ashes. ► Si:Al ratio in the glass of the fly ash influences the thermal performance. ► Compressive strength of geopolymers can increase by up to 5 fold after firing. ► Sodium aluminate activated geopolymers exhibit thermal stability up to 800°C. ► Sintering during thermal exposure improved inter-particle bonding.</P>

This paper investigates the flexural behavior of concrete beams reinforced longitudinally with either steel bars, molded glass-fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) grating mesh or pultruded glass-fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) grating mesh, under four-point bending. The variables included in this study were the type of concrete (normal weight concrete, perlite concrete and vermiculite concrete), type of the longitudinal reinforcement (steel bars, molded and pultruded GFRP grating mesh) and the longitudinal reinforcement ratio (between 0.007 and 0.035). The influences of these variables on the load-midspan deflection curves, bending stiffness, energy absorption and failure modes were investigated. A total of fifteen beams with a cross-sectional dimension of 160 mm × 210 mm and an overall length of 2400 mm were cast and divided into three groups. The first group was constructed with normal weight concrete and served as a reference concrete. The second and third groups were constructed with perlite concrete and vermiculite concrete, respectively. An innovative type of stirrup was used as shear reinforcement for all beams. The results showed that the ultimate load of the beams reinforced with pultruded GFRP grating mesh ranged between 19% and 38% higher than the ultimate load of the beams reinforced with steel bars. The bending stiffness of all beams was influenced by the longitudinal reinforcement ratio rather than the type of concrete. Failure occurred within the pure bending region which means that the innovative stirrups showed a significant resistance to shear failure. Good agreement between the experimental and the analytical ultimate load was obtained.
