Effects of load types and critical molar ratios on strength properties and geopolymerization mechanism
In this study, the effect of SiO2/Al2O3 (S/A), Na2O/Al2O3 (N/A) and H2O/Na2O (H/N) molar ratios on bending and compressive strength of geopolymer were investigated. The geopolymerization mechanism was also analyzed from microstructure difference by FTIR. The experimental results showed that compress...

| Sumario: | In this study, the effect of SiO2/Al2O3 (S/A), Na2O/Al2O3 (N/A) and H2O/Na2O (H/N) molar ratios on bending and compressive strength of geopolymer were investigated. The geopolymerization mechanism was also analyzed from microstructure difference by FTIR. The experimental results showed that compressive strength and bending strength of geopolymer has an opposite reaction under different critical molar ratios. The increase of S/A molar ratio and the decrease of N/A and H/N molar ratios have resulted in an increase of the compressive strength. However, it caused a noticeable decrease in bending strength. The microstructure of geopolymer indicated that the degree of polymerization and cohesion of geopolymer have systematical depending on these critical molar ratios, making the mechanical properties of geopolymer susceptible to different types of loads. This paper reveals the relationship between the microstructure of geopolymer and different mechanical properties and helps to selectively prepare corresponding geopolymer for different loading patterns. |
