Effect of Curing Temperature on Mechanical and Fracture Parameters of Alkali-Activated Brick Powder Based Composite

Article Preview

Abstract:

The paper describes alkali-activation of the brick body with potassium water glass having the silicate modulus of 1.0. The 28-days compressive strengths, elasticity modulus, effective fracture toughness, effective toughness, and specific fracture energy of the specimens stored at 20, 40 and 60 °C are evaluated. The storage temperature of specimens and the content of the alkaline solution have a significant influence on all mechanical fracture properties of the studied materials.
