Performance of Fly Ash Geopolymer Concrete Incorporating Bamboo Ash at Elevated Temperature

This paper presents the experimental results on the behavior of fly ash geopolymer concrete incorporating bamboo ash on the desired temperature (200 °C to 800 °C). Different amounts of bamboo ash were investigated and fly ash geopolymer concrete was considered as the control sample...
