THE EFFECT OF ALKALI ACTIVATOR MOLARITY ON THE MECHANICAL PERFORMANCE OF GEOPOLYMER PAVING BLOCKS BASED ON WASTE GLASS POWDER AND FLY ASH by Adji Putra Abriantoro, Manlian Ronald Adventus Simanjuntak

“…The best performance at 4M molarity yielded compressive strength of 35.60 MPa and flexural strength of 4.29 MPa, due to optimal geopolymerization and denser microstructure. The mechanical performance of the geopolymer paving blocks was compromised at NaOH molarities higher than 4M due to the emergence of a micropore, which increased the porosity and water absorption from 6.55% at 1M to 9.14% at 10M. …”
