This paper presents the results of mechanical and micro‐structural properties of geopolymer mortars with obsidian, ground granulated blast furnace slag, and metakaolin. In this study, 13 different combinations were created using 25% by weight of obsidian, blast furnace slag, and metakaolin. Geopolymer mortars were poured at 0.45 water/binder ratio, 12M NaOH concentration, and exposed to thermal cure at 75°C, 90°C, 105°C, and 120°C for 72 h. The flexural and compressive strengths of the mortars were measured and their microstructural properties were analyzed. As a result of the study, the maximum compressive strength was obtained as 93.7 MPa, and the maximum flexural strength was 21.4 MPa. From the results obtained when different combinations are used, it has been observed that the materials work in harmony with each other and the optimum curing temperature is 90°C. Also, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and EDS analyses indicated that the compact structure of the geopolymer matrix and the Ca/Si ratio are directly proportional to the mechanical strength of the sample. The high wavelength value formed in the main band as a result of Fourier‐transformed infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) analysis shows that the mortars have high mechanical properties.
Karbon fiber takviyeli kumaşlar (CFRP) gibi çeşitli polimer kompozitlerin deprem dayanımı yetersiz yapıların güçlendirilmesinde kullanımı yaygınlaşmaktadır. Bu yeni güçlendirme yöntemi sargı etkisiyle betonarme elemanların basınç dayanımını artırırken sünek davranışa da önemli ölçüde katkı sağlamaktadır. Bu çalışma kapsamında; mevcut bir yapıdan karot numuneler alınmıştır. Bu karot numuneler CFRP ile sarılarak güçlendirilmiş ve basınç dayanımları ölçülmüştür. Aynı zamanda karot numuneler ANSYS yazılımıyla bilgisayar ortamında modellenerek bu model üzerinden teorik basınç dayanımları hesaplanmış ve bu teorik değerlerin deneysel dayanımlarla kıyaslanması yapılmıştır. Elde edilen teorik ve deneysel basınç dayanımları konuya ilişkin literatürle karşılaştırılmıştır. Bu çalışma sonucunda tek kat ve iki kat CFRP sarılarak güçlendirilen numunelerin gerilme deformasyon sonuçları literatürdeki çalışmalarla örtüşen sonuçlar elde edilmiştir. Deneysel ve teorik değerlerin birbiriyle uyumlu olduğu bir modelleme yaklaşımı ortaya koyulmuştur.
Background:
Benzimidazoles and its derivatives have been attracting interest for many
years because of their biological activities. Benzimidazoles containing different heterocyclic moieties
have wide range of biological activities such as antimicrobial, antioxidant, anticancer, antiviral, etc.
Methods:
In this study, some benzimidazole derivatives containing furan, oxadiazole, triazole and
thiadiazole moieties have been synthesized and then evaluated for their antioxidant and antiurease
activities.
Results:
The results showed that all the tested benzimidazoles indicated remarkable urease inhibitory
potentials with IC50 values ranging between 0.303±0.03 to 0.591±0.08 µM.
Conclusion:
In conclusion, synthesized benzimidazole derivatives showed good antioxidant and
antiurease activities. Heterocyclic groups on benzimidazole nucleus enhance the activities.
