| Abstract Scope |
The global interest in developing durable building materials with low CO2 emissions makes geopolymer materials a sustainable alternative to conventional cementitious materials. This study presents an experimental investigation into the properties of geopolymer binders prepared using metakaolin (MK) and red clay brick waste (RBW). A series of mixes with varying contents of RBW up to 100% as metakaolin replacement was prepared to assess several properties, such as water absorption, compressive strength, thermal conductivity, and fire resistance. Therefore, the results showed great potential for transforming red brick waste into a readily available aluminosilicate resource for use in sustainable geopolymer materials. |
