Damage behavior of geopolymer composites exposed to elevated temperatures
AbstractThis paper presents a study on geopolymers and geopolymer/aggregate composites made with class F fly ash. Samples were heated up to 800°C to evaluate strength loss due to thermal damage. The geopolymers exhibited strength increases of about 53% after temperature exposure. However, geopolymer/aggregate composites with identical geopolymer binder formulations decreased in strength by up to 65% after the same exposure. Test data from dilatometry measurements of geopolymers and aggregates provides an explanation for this behavior. The tests show that the aggregates steadily expanded with temperature, reaching about 1.5–2.5% expansion at 800°C. Correspondingly, the geopolymer matrix undergoes contraction of about 1% between 200°C and 300°C and a further 0.6% between 700°C and 800°C. This apparent incompatibility is concluded to be the cause of the observed strength loss. This study presents the results of 15 different geopolymer combinations (i.e. mixture proportions, curing and age) and four different aggregates.
