18. Sample Preparation (Cont.)
ASTM* C-109 (2008)
Cement: Sand: Mixing Liquid= 1:2.75:0.49
AACB mortar (Fly Ash:Sand= 1:2.75, Sodium Silicate: NaOH=0.67,
minimum base water 5% by mass of geopolymer paste )
Samples were prepared in 2 × 2 × 2 in..
*American Society of Testing material
19. Curing Process
• Tap Water (For standard samples)
• Cement Mortar cured at room temperature, submerging under
water.
• AACB mortars were kept at 75 ̊ C for total 3 days accelerated
curing.
