Abstract

Ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBS)-based geopolymer is an effective binder that attains high strength by curing at different temperatures. This paper presents the experimental results obtained from tests conducted on alkali-activated GGBS lateritic soil blends. Unconfined compressive strengths were determined for alkali-activated blends to which GGBS was added in varying quantities (5, 10, 15, 20, and 25% by dry weight of soil). UCS samples were tested at different curing temperatures. The processing temperature is found to influence the development of compressive strength. Further, samples were conducted for SEM analysis to know the structural development. Test results indicated that unconfined compressive strength increased with increasing GGBS content and curing period. This study illustrated that GGBS-based geopolymer can be an effective soil stabilizer for lateritic soils.
