Overview

Experimental study evaluates mechanical performance of geopolymer concrete using waste ash, suggesting a sustainable alternative for construction.

Key Points

  • This research aims to determine the effects of incinerated biomedical waste ash on the mechanical properties of geopolymer concrete.
  • Partial replacement of ground granulated blast furnace slag with incinerated biomedical waste ash at varying levels
  • Use of sodium hydroxide and sodium silicate as an alkaline activating solution
  • Evaluation of concrete properties through slump, compaction, water absorption, and strength tests
  • Workability improved up to 20% IBWA replacement, then declined
  • Maximum compressive strength of 53.62 MPa achieved at 20% IBWA
  • Water absorption reached a lowest value of 2.46% at 20% IBWA before increasing with more replacement
