Article Description

Due to enhanced mechanical and chemical properties, geopolymeric materials are a potential alternative to ordinary Portland cement and high-strength cement for the construction industry. The effects of aggregate particle size on the formation and the mechanical properties of geopolymeric materials are investigated in the current work. The addition of soluble silicates to the alkaline activator was found to increase the dissolution of silicate ions from the aggregate into the geopolymer binder phase. The results indicate that the surface area of aggregate influences the strength development of a geopolymer.
