COMPRESSIVE STRENGTH
Details of mixing
Bentonite and Metakoalin were firstly
mixed for 5 min in a pan mixer.
Details of test
1.Density and compressive
strength
Porosity(%) = (C-A)/(C-D)
(1)
Absorption(%) =[(B-A)/A]*100

where A is the mass of oven dry
sample in air (g), B is mass of surface
dry sample in air after immersion (g),
C is mass of surface dry sample in air
after immersion and boiling (g), and D
is apparent mass of sample in water
after immersion and boiling (g)
3.Modulus of elasticity
The cylinder specimens of series were
tested for the chord modulus at the
age of 28 days in accordance with
ASTM:C469. The reported results were
the average of two samples.
4. Temperature of curing

The results of densities of lightweight
geopolymer concrete with various
temperatures of curing are shown in
Fig2. The densities of lightweight
concrete, however, decreased with
the increase in temperature of curing
due to the increased
