Thermo-mechanical and moisture absorption properties of fly ash-based lightweight geopolymer concrete reinforced by polypropylene fibers

Abstract: An experimental investigation on the thermo-mechanical and moisture absorption properties of lightweight geopolymer concrete prepared with fly ash, NaOH, sodium silicate and Polypropylene Fibers (PF) is presented in this study. The effects of dry density, NaOH, PF, aggregates and hydrophobic agent on the compressive strength, thermal properties and moisture absorption were studied. Results indicate that thermo-mechanical properties of Fly ash-based Lightweight Geopolymer Concrete (FLGC) strongly depend on the … Show more

“…This may affect the workability of mixtures. The same conclusion was reported by Wang et al [47], who determined that fiber addition higher than 0.5% caused poor workability and the incomplete compaction of concrete. However, in this study, in the mixing process, no such impact was noted.…”

“…This type of composite also has significant resistance to cracking at high temperatures, which allows it to be used as fireproof barriers in construction [9,39]. This kind of material could be used as lightweight construction and isolation materials [39]. Wang et al have studied foamed geopolymers reinforced by PP fibers [39].…”

“…This kind of material could be used as lightweight construction and isolation materials [39]. Wang et al have studied foamed geopolymers reinforced by PP fibers [39]. As a raw material, the fly ash from the Chinese coal mine company has been used (Class II according to the Chinse Standard of GB/T1596-2017).…”
