Abstract:
In this paper, it was aimed to manufacture a functional geopolymer structure by activating silica sand, fly ash disposed from Afsin-Elbistan Thermal Power Plant and blast furnace slag obtained from Iskenderun Ferrous & Steel Plant with NaOH. Concrete mortars containing alkaline-activated aggregates were shaped in 4 cm x 4 cm x 16 cm and 10 cm x 10cm x 10 cm molds. These samples were kept in oven at 75 oC during 20 hours. Bending resistance, specific weight, thermal conductivity coefficient, compressive strength and ultrasound transmission rate of each sample were measured.
