Effect of Curing Profile on Fly Ash Geopolymer with Slag as Supplementary

The aim of this research is to evaluate the curing temperature at which the fly ash based geopolymer can achieve its best mechanical properties with the presence of supplementary calcium source. Wide range of curing temperature from 55oC-85oC was imposed to sample GP (without any calcium compound) and sample GB (with 15% of slag as supplementary material) to have their comparative performance. The prime objective is to find out the right curing temperature in a manner to obtain the optimized strength under compression.
