Abstract: One of the most important challenges in developing the concrete industry is to use sustainable materials that are able to improve concrete properties. Magnetized water (MW) is a type of water that can replace tap water (TW) in conventional concrete and enhance its mechanical properties. However, the performance of MW in geopolymer concrete has not been well investigated up to now. The goal of this study is to measure the effect of using an alkaline activator (AA) made of MW on the mechanical properties and dur… Show more

“…Geopolymer concrete heavily relies on the alkaline activator, which greatly influences the characteristics and behavior of the material. In a particular study [28], the authors examined how the molarity of the alkaline activator impacts the durability and strength of geopolymer concrete made from fly ash. It has been established that the most effective type of alkaline activator is a solution with a molarity of 16 M. Similarly, in [29,30], the impact of various concentrations of alkaline activators on the geopolymer characteristics was studied and the best compositions of hardening activators were selected for specific types of aluminosilicates.…”
