Özet
This study investigates the effect of elevated temperatures on slag-based geopolymer composites (SGC) with the inclusion of firebrick powder (FBP). There is a limited understanding of the properties of SGC with the inclusion of FBP when exposed to elevated temperatures and the effects of cooling processes in air and water. In this regard, in the preliminary trials performed, optimum molarity, curing temperature, and curing time conditions were determined as 16 molarity, 100 degrees C, and 24 h, respectively, for SGCs. Then, FBP from construction and demolition waste (CDW) was substituted in different replacement ratios (10%, 20%, 30%, and 40% by slag weight) into the SGC, with optimum molarity, curing temperature, and curing time. The produced SGC samples were exposed to elevated temperature effects at 300, 600, and 800 degrees C and then subjected to air- and water-cooling regimes. The ultrasonic pulse velocity, flexural strength, compressive strength, and mass loss of the SGCs with the inclusion of FBP were determined. In addition, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analyses were carried out for control (without FBP) and 20% FBP-based SGC cooled in air and water after elevated temperatures of 300 degrees C and 600 degrees C. The results show that the compressive and flexural strength of the SGC samples are higher than the control samples when the FBP replacement ratio is used of up to 30% for the samples after the elevated temperatures of 300 degrees C and 600 degrees C. The lowest compressive and flexural strength results were obtained for the control samples after a temperature of 800 degrees C. As a result, the elevated temperature resistance can be significantly improved if FBP is used in SGC by up to 30%.
