摘要

This study investigates the durability properties of geopolymer concrete containing recycled rubber (0–30%) as aggregate replacement with varying NaOH molarities (10 M, 12 M, 14 M). Water absorption increased with rubber content (3.8% for R0SH14 to 7.2% for R30SH10) but decreased with higher molarity. Sulfate resistance showed improved performance at higher molarity, with 14 M specimens exhibiting lower mass gain (R30-1.73%) compared to 12 M (R30-1.85%) and 10 M (R30-1.97%) after 162 days. Acid resistance testing revealed superior performance in 14 M specimens (R0-98.5% mass retention) compared to 12 M (R0-98.4%) and 10 M (R0-98.3%). Results indicate that higher NaOH molarity consistently improves durability performance through better aluminosilicate network formation.
