Studies on Strength Development of Geopolymer Stabilised Soil-LPC (Lime-Pozzolana-Cement) Mortars
Abstract Soil-based blocks and binders have emerged as sustainable alternative to masonry units, and alkali-activated polymers (geopolymers) are being studied as alternatives to cement. This study attempts to stabilise soil using a combination of geopolymerisation and hydration. Strength gain and applicability of soil-based LPC-industrial by-products-geopolymer mortar is studied. In order to optimise the usage of alkaline materials, a series of parametric studies were carried out. A combination of LPC and fly ash led to wet compressive strength of more than 10.0 MPa while a combination of LPC and ultra-fine slag resulted in strength of nearly 20.0 MPa.
