Özet
Today, binders with low CO2 emissions are preferred in building design. Geopolymers have lower CO2 emissions than conventional concrete and Portland cement. This study investigated the efficiency of geopolymers produced with short curing time and low curing temperature against gamma and neutron radiation. Ground blast furnace slag (GBFS), metakaolin and quartz powder were used as binders to produce geopolymers. In addition, 200, 400 and 800 kg/m3 quartz sand (with high SiO2 content) was used instead of river aggregate in the mixtures. Geopolymers were cured at 40, 60 and 80 °C for 6, 8 and 10 h. The hardened unit weights of geopolymers vary between 2160–2346 kg/m3. As the quartz sand content increased, the hardened unit weight of the mixtures increased. As the curing temperature increased, the unit weight of the mixtures decreased as the evaporation increased. The compressive strength …
