Development of Self-Compacting Geopolymer Concrete Using Fayalite Slag Aggregates
Because of its high cement consumption, which limits its use in concrete construction, self-compacting concrete requires a higher cement content and various admixtures. Therefore, it is prudent to explore alternative options to minimize environmental impacts while creating environmentally friendly self-compacting concrete. This study examines the use of fly ash (FA) and ultrafine slag (UFS) in self-compacting geopolymer concrete (SGC), supplemented with fayalite slag aggregates (FSA). These aggregates, in varying quantities up to 60%, were used instead of traditional sand. The rheological properties and compressive strength of SGC were investigated. The analysis revealed that the addition of FSA improved the flowability of SGC. Notably, using a combination comprising 60% FSA, the largest slump measurement of 683.5 mm was achieved. Substituting up to 20% of FSA generally improved the properties of SGC at all ages. After one year, the mixture containing 20% FSA outperformed other compositions, with a maximum compressive strength of 49.38 MPa.
