Effect of nanosilica-based activators on the performance of an alkali-activated fly ash
This paper assesses the effect of the use of an alternative activator based on nanosilica/MOH (M = K+ or Na+) blended solutions on the performance of alkali-activated fly ash binders. Binders produced with commercial silicate activators display a greater degree of reaction, associated with increased contents of geopolymer gel; however, mortars produced with the alternative nanosilica-based activators exhibited lower water demand and reduced permeability, independent of the alkali cation used. Na-based activators
promote higher compressive strength compared with K-based activators, along with a refined pore structure, although K-activated samples exhibit reduced water demand. Zeolite type products are the major crystalline phases formed within these binders. A wider range of zeolites is formed when using
commercial silicate solutions compared with the alternative activators. These results suggest that there are variations in the availability of Si in the system, and consequently in the alkalinity, depending on the silicate source in the activator, which is important in determining the nanostructure of the geopolymer gel.This study was sponsored by the Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovacion of Spain (Project GEORES MAT2010-19934 and research scholarship BES-2008-002440), European regional development fund (FEDER), and the Universitat Politecnica de Valencia (Spain).

Control concrete having compressive strength of 240 ksc and slump between 7.5 and 12.5 cm was chosen for the mix proportion design methods. Testing specimens was separated into 2 groups. The first group, a partial amount of water in control mixture was replaced by para rubber latex at rates of 0.5, 1.0, 1.5 and 2.0 percent by weight of water. The second group, 5 percent by weight of para rubber latex was replaced by surfactant for every mixture of the first group. For every mixture, slump of fresh concretes was observed. Compressive strength of each mixture was investigated at the ages of 7, 14, and 28 days, respectively. Density of each specimen was calculated using its weight and volume, one-by-one. It was found that surfactant could increase slump of fresh concrete. In addition, the surfactant resulted in a dramatic decline in the compressive strength of para rubber latex concrete, especially for the mixtures containing 1.5 and 2.0 percent of para rubber latex. Those mixtures showed decreases of 32 and 52 percent in comparison with the control concrete. Irrespective of surfactant, the density of para rubber latex concrete exhibits significant relationship with compressive strength of the specimens
