Stress–strain behaviour and abrupt loss of stiffness of geopolymer at elevated temperatures
AbstractThis paper reports stress versus strain curves of geopolymer tested while the specimens were kept at elevated temperatures, with the aim to study the fire resistance of geopolymer. Tests were performed at temperatures from 23 to 680°C and after cooling. Hot strengths of geopolymer increased when the temperature increased from 290 to 520°C, reaching the highest strength at 520°C, which is almost double that of its initial strength at room temperature. However, glass transition behaviour was observed to occur between 520 and 575°C, which was characterised by abrupt loss of stiffness and significant viscoelastic behaviour. The glass transition temperature is determined to be 560°C. Further, the strength reductions occurred during cooling to room temperature. This is attributed to the damage due to brittle nature of the material making it difficult to accommodate thermal strain differentials during cooling phase.
