In this paper, the relation between voids ratio, porosity and infiltration rate properties of geopolymer concrete paver blocks were studied. Geopolymer concrete pavers were cast and cured at elevated temperature using hybrid fibers. Durability properties such as porosity and infiltration rate were analyzed in geopolymer concrete pavers using quarry rock dust, M-sand and river sand as fine aggregate. Test results of geopolymer concrete pavers were compared and analyzed with conventional paver blocks. Hexagonal pavers of size 27 cm × 23.5 cm × 5 cm were cast as per IS15658: 2006. Low calcium flyash of class F was used as main source material. Sodium hydroxide and sodium silicate were used as stimulator solution. M30 grade of concrete was cast with 16 M concentration of sodium hydroxide. Specimens were cured under elevated temperature of 90 ℃ for 48 h. Test results revealed that geopolymer concrete pavers shows better durability properties compared to conventional paver pavers. The range of voids ratio was 6.6–12.5 (%) and infiltration rate varies between 662–754 l/min/m2 for all tested specimens. Increase in voids ratio and porosity results with increase in infiltration rate. Thus, voids ratio and porosity are directly proportional to ion rate.

摘要

In this paper, the relation between voids ratio, porosity and infiltration rate properties of geopolymer concrete paver blocks were studied. Geopolymer concrete pavers were cast and cured at elevated temperature using hybrid fibers. Durability properties such as porosity and infiltration rate were analyzed in geopolymer concrete pavers using quarry rock dust, M-sand and river sand as fine aggregate. Test results of geopolymer concrete pavers were compared and analyzed with conventional paver blocks. Hexagonal pavers of size 27 cm × 23.5 cm × 5 cm were cast as per IS15658: 2006. Low calcium flyash of class F was used as main source material. Sodium hydroxide and sodium silicate were used as stimulator solution. M30 grade of concrete was cast with 16 M concentration of sodium hydroxide. Specimens were cured under elevated temperature of 90 ℃ for 48 h. Test results revealed that geopolymer concrete pavers shows better durability properties compared to conventional paver pavers. The range of voids ratio was 6.6–12.5 (%) and infiltration rate varies between 662–754 l/min/m2 for all tested specimens. Increase in voids ratio and porosity results with increase in infiltration rate. Thus, voids ratio and porosity are directly proportional to ion rate.
