Abstract

Addition of 12 percentage of OPC along with fly ash acts as the main source of Si and Al for the geopolymerisation. It is seen that the inclusion of OPC helps in geopolymerisation without heating. A mortar strength up to 105.5 MPa was prepared in this study. A total of 81 mixed geopolymer mortar mixes was selected. The molarity of NaOH, ratio of sodium silicate (Na2 SiO3) to sodium hydroxide (NaOH), alkali–binder ratio and cement content were varied. The 7 and 28 days cube compressive strength were determined. The strength prediction models developed in this study are found to be in good agreement with the experimental data.
