Laboratory Study of High-Resistance Laterite-Based Geopolymer Bricks

A high amount of energy is required to produce different types clay and sand-lime bricks, a huge carbon dioxide released into the atmosphere. Also, brick waste from destruction dilapidated buildings pollutes environment. Application pozzolanic sources containing aluminosilicate alkaline activators can be beneficial in production geopolymer which do not need baked furnace recycled. laterite-based mix design was introduced this study as an environmental-friendly material. This type produced using available cheap raw materials without for heat. The included laterite soil aluminosilicate, aggregate filler passed through sieve No. 8 activating solution with concentrations. effect size on compressive strength these samples investigated. results showed that prepared bricks here much higher than recommended standards construction similar those high-resistance bricks. had significant samples. percentage water absorption concentrations alkali also within range
