Abstract

The goal of the current program is to develop geopolymer fly ash building bricks that cure in the atmosphere. Fly ash and an alkaline soda-based chemical activator solution are used to make geopolymer construction bricks in the presence of sodium silicate and water, with a different Na2O/(Al2O3+SiO2) ratio maintained. Under atmospheric curing, 230 mm x 110 mm x 75 mm fly ash building bricks are formed. After 25 days of atmospheric curing the results shows that the geopolymer fly ash building bricks attain a crushing strength of 10 to 12 Mpa.
