Özet
This study investigates the mechanical, thermal, and durability performance of one-part geopolymer foam concrete (GFC) incorporating boiler ash (BA) as a partial replacement for fly ash (FA) and polypropylene fibers (PPF). Nine distinct mixtures were prepared with varying BA replacement levels (0%, 10%, and 20%) and PPF contents (0%, 0.5%, and 1%). Comprehensive testing was conducted to evaluate compressive and flexural strength, thermal conductivity, porosity, water absorption, sorptivity, freeze-thaw resistance, and high-temperature durability. The experimental results indicate that replacing FA with BA enhances the geopolymer matrix’s mechanical and durability properties through improved gel formation and matrix densification. The optimal mixture, containing 20% BA and 0.5% PPF, achieved a 41.52% increase in compressive strength compared to the reference mixture (0% BA, 0% PPF). This …
