    Fire resistance of geopolymer concrete produced from Elaz ferrochrome slag
    (Wiley, 2016) Turkmen, Ibrahim; Karakoc, Mehmet Burhan; Kantarci, Fatih; Maras, Muslum Murat; Demirboga, Ramazan
    This paper presents the effect of elevated temperatures up to 700 degrees C on compressive strength and water absorption of two alkali-activated aluminosilicate composites (one of them is river sand aggregate geopolymer concrete; the other one is crushed sand aggregate geopolymer concrete) and ordinary Portland cement based concretes. To obtain binding geopolymer material, Elaz ferrochrome slag was ground as fine as cement, and then it was alkali activated with chemical (NaOH and Na2SiO3). Geopolymer concrete samples were produced by mixing this binding geopolymer material with aggregates. At each target temperature, concrete samples were exposed to fire for the duration of 1h. Fire resistance and water absorption of geopolymer and ordinary Portland cement concrete samples were determined experimentally. Experimental results indicated that compressive strength of geopolymer concrete samples increased at 100 degrees C and 300 degrees C temperatures when compared with unexposed samples. In geopolymer concrete samples, the highest compressive strength was obtained from river aggregates ones at 300 degrees C with 37.06MPa. Water absorption of geopolymer concrete samples increased at 700 degrees C temperature when compared with unexposed samples. However, a slight decrease in water absorption of concrete samples was observed up to 300 degrees C when compared with unexposed samples. SEM and X-ray diffraction tests were also carried out to investigate microstructure and mineralogical changes during thermal exposure. Copyright (c) 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Fire Resistance of Geopolymer Concrete Produced From Ferrochrome Slag by Alkali Activation Method
    (Ieee, 2013) Turkmen, Ibrahim; Karakoc, Mehmet Burhan; Kantarci, Fatih; Maras, M. Murat; Demirboga, Ramazan
    The effect of high temperatures up to 700 degrees C on compressive strength and water absorption of two alkali-activated aluminosilicate composites (one of them with river sand aggregates, the second crushed sand aggregates) and ordinary Portland cement (OPC) concretes is analyzed in this paper. Binding geopolymer material was obtained after grinding the Elazig Ferrochrome slag (EFS) as fine as cement and alkaline activating with chemical materials (NaOH-Na2SiO3). Geopolymer concrete samples were produced by using this binding material with aggregates. Produced concrete samples were exposed to temperature for 1 hour, after reaching the maximum temperature. Fire resistance and water absorption of geopolymer and OPC concrete samples was obtained experimentally. Compressive strength of river aggregates and crushed sand aggregates concrete increased at 100 and 300 degrees C temperatures compared to unexposed samples, and the maximum compressive strength for these geopolymer concrete sample was obtained at 300 degrees C. Water absorption of all concrete samples increased at 700 degrees C temperature compared to unexposed samples. But there appeared to be a slight decrease of water absorption in the all concrete samples up to 300 degrees C temperatures compared to unexposed samples. Scanning electron microscopy and XRD tests were also conducted to examine microstructure and mineralogical changes during the thermal exposure.

    Mechanical properties and setting time of ferrochrome slag based geopolymer paste and mortar
    (Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2014) Karakoc, Mehmet Burhan; Turkmen, Ibrahim; Maras, Muslum Murat; Kantarci, Fatih; Demirboga, Ramazan; Toprak, M. Ugur
    Many researches have been done to investigate using raw materials in the production of geopolymer cements. This paper presents the effects of alkali dosage and silica modulus when using sodium metasilicate solution at different curing conditions on the geopolymerization of ferrochrome slag (FS). As alkali activation for geopolymerization, NaOH and Na2SiO3 solution were used. Geopolymer cement was produced using FS as raw material with 3 different silica modulus (0.50, 0.60 and 0.70) and 4 different Na2O concentrations (4%, 7%, 10% and 12%). The setting time, hydration heat and compressive strength of geopolymer paste samples and compressive strength of geopolymer mortar samples were obtained. The setting time varied between 120 and 870 min, it showed variability depending on Na2O content. The highest 28 day compressive strength of the geopolymer paste samples was obtained from one with Na2O concentration of 7% and silica modulus of 0.70. Geopolymer mortars were prepared for the determination of compressive strength by adding FS:sand:alkali activator ratio 1:2:0.30, 035 and 0.40. The specimens were cured at 60 degrees C and 80 degrees C kept for 20 h and the other mortar samples were stored under laboratory conditions. Compressive strength of the material decreased, when w/b (water/binder) ratio increased. The highest 28 day strength of the geopolymer mortar was obtained at 0.30 w/b ratio and laboratory temperature curing conditions. The hydration heat of geopolymer paste samples was found to be less than normal Portland cements. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) were investigated to study the microstructural properties of the geopolymers. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

    (Ieee, 2013) Karakoc, Mehmet Burhan; Turkmen, Ibrahim; Maras, M. Murat; Kantarci, Fatih; Demirboga, Ramazan; Toprak, M. Ugur
    Many researches have been done to investigate using raw materials in the production of geopolymer cements. The aim of this paper is the effect of dosage of alkali and silica modulus when using sodium metasilicate solution at different curing conditions on the geopolymerisation of ferrochrome slag (FS). As alkali activation for geopolymerization, NaOH and Na2SiO3 solution were used. Geopolymer cement was produced using FS and 3 different silica modulus (0.50, 0.60, and 0.70) and 4 different Na2O concentrations (4, 7, 10, and 12%). The setting time, heat of hydration and compressive strength of geopolymer paste samples and compressive strength of geopolymer mortar samples were obtained. The setting time varies between 120 and 870 min, it shows variability depending on content of Na2O. As a result of the highest 28 day strength of the geopolymer paste sample was obtained at Na2O concentration of 7% and at silica modulu of 0.70. Geopolymer mortars were prepared for the determination of compressive strength by adding FS: sand: alkali activator ratio 1:2:0.30, 0.35 and 0.40. The specimens were cured at 60 degrees C, 80 degrees C kept in 20 hours and the other mortars were stored under laboratory conditions. Compressive strength of the material decreases, when w/b ratio increases. The highest 28 day strength of the geopolymer mortar was obtained at 0.30 w/b ratio and at curing temperature laboratory conditions. The hydration heat of geopolymer paste samples was found to be less than normal Portland cements. Microstructural changes in the specimens were studied with SEM and XRD.

    Modeling with ANN and effect of pumice aggregate and air entrainment on the freeze-thaw durabilities of HSC
    (Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2011) Karakoc, Mehmet Burhan; Demirboga, Ramazan; Turkmen, Ibrahim; Can, Ibrahim
    The objective of this work is to calculate the compressive strength, ultrasound pulse velocity (UPV), relative dynamic modulus of elasticity (RDME) and porosity induced into concrete during freezing and thawing. Freeze-thaw durability of concrete is of great importance to hydraulic structures in cold areas. In this paper, freezing of pore solution in concrete exposed to a freeze-thaw cycle is studied by following the change of concrete some mechanical and physical properties with freezing temperatures. The effects of pumice aggregate (PA) ratios on the high strength concrete (HSC) properties were studied at 28 days. PA replacements of fine aggregate (0-2 mm) were used: 10%, 20%, and 30%. The properties examined included compressive strength, UPV and RDME properties of HSC. Results showed that compressive strength, UPV and RDME of samples were decreased with increase in PA ratios. Test results revealed that HSC was still durable after 100, 200 and 300 cycles of freezing and thawing in accordance with ASTM C666. After 300 cycles, HSC showed a reduction in compressive strength between 6% and 21%, and reduction in RDME up to 16%. For 300 cycles, the porosity was increased up to 12% for HSC with PA. In this paper, feed-forward artificial neural networks (ANNs) techniques are used to model the relative change in compressive strength and relative change in UPV in cyclic thermal loading. Then genetic algorithms are applied in order to determine optimum mix proportions subjected to 300 thermal cycling. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

    Prediction of compressive strength and ultrasonic pulse velocity of admixtured concrete using tree model M5P
    (Ernst & Sohn, 2020) Kocamaz, Adnan Fatih; Ayaz, Yasar; Karakoc, Mehmet Burhan; Turkmen, Ibrahim; Demirboga, Ramazan
    The quality of concrete was assessed based on measurements of ultrasonic pulse velocity (UPV) and compressive strength. Portland cement (PC) was substituted with silica fume (SF), fly ash (FA) and blast furnace slag (BFS) as mineral admixtures. The compressive strength and UPV of concrete mixtures were estimated with classifiers alongside the tree model M5P in the data mining field. The compressive strength and UPV were modeled as a function of five input variables: day, cement, SF, FA, and BFS. It was found that UPV and compressive strength had an exponential correlation with SF, FA, BFS, SF + FA, SF + BFS and FA + BFS. However, additive-free admixture and PC-free substitution levels had a different constant in empirical work. According to the results obtained, both compressive strength and UPV of concrete mixtures could be reliably anticipated with the tree model M5P in a proportion of 97%. Hence, this model could be a potential new method for modeling mineral admixture concrete.

    Properties of pumice aggregate concretes at elevated temperatures and comparison with ANN models
    (Wiley, 2017) Turkmen, Ibrahim; Bingol, A. Ferhat; Tortum, Ahmet; Demirboga, Ramazan; Gul, Ruestem
    The mechanical properties and thermal conductivity of concretes including pumice aggregate (PA) exposed to elevated temperature were analyzed by thermal conductivity, compressive strength, flexure strength, dynamic elasticity modulus (DEM) and dry unit weight tests. PA concrete specimens were cast by replacing a varying part of the normal aggregate (0-2 mm) with the PA. All concrete samples were prepared and cured at 23 +/- 10C lime saturated water for 28 days. Compressive strength of concretes including PA decreased that reductions were 14, 19, 25 and 34% for 25, 50, 75 and 100% PA, respectively. The maximum thermal conductivity of 1.9382W/mK was observed with the control samples containing normal aggregate. The tests were carried out by subjecting the samples to a temperature of 0, 100, 200, 300, 400 500, 600 and 700 degrees C for 3 h, then cooling by air cooling or in water method. The results indicated that all concretes exposed to a temperature of 500 and 700 degrees C occurred a significant decrease in thermal conductivity, compressive strength, flexure strength and DEM. An artificial neural network (ANN) approach was used to model the thermal and mechanical properties of PA concretes. The predicted values of the ANN were in accordance with the experimental data. The results indicate that the model can predict the concrete properties after elevated temperatures with adequate accuracy. Copyright (C) 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Sulfate resistance of ferrochrome slag based geopolymer concrete
    (Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2016) Karakoc, Mehmet Burhan; Turkmen, Ibrahim; Maras, Muslum Murat; Kantarci, Fatih; Demirboga, Ramazan
    This paper presents the study of the performance of a new geopolymer binding material exposed to sulfate attack. Geopolymer binding material was obtained by alkaline activating FS with chemical materials (NaOH and Na2SiO3). Geopolymer concrete samples were produced by mixing this binding material with river sand and crushed sand aggregates. Test specimens were immersed in magnesium sulfate solutions (by weight 3%, 5% and 7%) for various periods of time and the durability of geopolymer concrete was investigated. The residual compressive strength (90 and 180 days), change in weight and length of samples, pH variation of solution and visual appearance of these samples were obtained experimentally. It was concluded that compressive strength of both geopolymer and Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) based concrete samples decreases with increasing in MgSO4 content and exposure duration. After exposed to 7% MgSO4 solution for 180 days, the minimum decrease in compressive strength was seen 25% in geopolymer concrete samples with crushed sand aggregates.
