Abstract:Geopolymer mortars, which cause less CO2 emissions than concrete and its raw material cement, are an innovative, environmentally friendly and sustainable building material. Geopolymers are formed by activating silica and alumina materials with alkaline activators. In this study, a geopolymer mortar containing obsidian (OB), also known as volcanic glass, which is free, and silica fume (SF), which is the waste material of the silicon and ferrosilicon industry, was investigated. The behavior of OB‐based geopolyme… Show more
