FLY ASH-GEOPOLYMER COMPOSITE OBTAINED BY ADDITION OF RECYCLED POST-CONSUMER PACKAGING BOTTLE
Abstract
The experiment described in this paper is part of the series of worldwide investigation of the influence of different types of alumina-silicate waste on properties of geopolymer concrete. The work originality consists in the choice of recycled post-consumer green packaging bottle as a partial substitute for fly ash, unlike recent results known from the literature of the use of brown glass waste powder or in a mixture of coloured glass. The results showed that the replacement of 18 % of the initial fly ash content is an optimal solution to increase the compression and flexural strength of the geopolymer concrete both after 7 days of storage and after 28 days. In this case, the compression resistance values reached 34.8 and 46.0 MPa, respectively and the flexural resistance values were 5.9 and 8.9 MPa, respectively. Further increasing the proportion of green glass up to 30 % contributed to a surplus of concrete strength, but to a very small extent, reaching a maximum of 34.9 and 47.0 MPa and respectively, 6.0 and 9.1 MPa.
