Development of a high-strength lightweight geopolymer concrete for structural and thermal insulation applications

Investigating the thermal insulation properties of lightweight geopolymer concrete is essential. This paper aims to develop a lightweight aggregate geopolymer concrete (LWAGC) with good density, compressive mechanical and thermal insulation properties. The dry density of LWAGC was adjusted by incorp...
