Performance of geopolymer concrete composed of fly ash after exposure to elevated temperatures

Alkaline activated concretes based on a mixture of fly ash (FA) and blast furnace slag (GBFS), as well as FA and Portland cement (OPC), both at a ratio of 80:20, were exposed to temperatures between 25 °C and 1100 °C. Then, the physicochemical and mechanical changes were evaluated. The results indicate that the activated concretes have better performance than the reference ones (100% OPC). At temperatures of 1100 °C, the residual strengths of...
