Studying some of the mechanical and physical properties of colored geopolymer concrete

Abstract EN

This study has been done to study the physical and mechanical characteristics of colored geopolymer concrete by adding two types of pigments yellow (iron oxide hydroxide) and blue (cobalt) with three additional proportions for each of the listed colors (0, 2, 4, 6% wt), some materials which are available in the native market and other materials imported from outside of the country.

The experimental investigation has dealt with the fresh properties(slump) of the colored geopolymer concrete mixes as well as some of the mechanical and physical characteristics of the hardened concrete by testing specimens in compressive strength, flexural strength, water orption, Rebound number (RN), and ultrasonic pulse velocity (UPV).

In addition to that, Finding a relationship between the destructive (strength of compressive) and (RN and UPV) tests.

Show us that (2% wt) pigment percentage gives the best This study has been done to study the physical and mechanical characteristics of colored geopolymer concrete by adding two types of pigments yellow (iron oxide hydroxide) and blue (cobalt) with three additional proportions for each of the listed colors (0, 2, 4, 6% wt), some materials which are available in the native market and other materials imported from outside of the country.
