Investigation of the effect of blast furnace slag on the properties of fly ash based geopolymer brick

Brick, which is widely used in building and interior walls, has improved its properties by substituting different materials over time. This improvement has been made more recently with waste materials. Both agricultural wastes and industrial wastes are seen as important inputs in brick production. In this thesis, it is aimed to produce fly ash-based geopolymer bricks by using blast furnace slag, which is the waste of Karabük Iron and Steel Factory, and fly ash from Seyitömer thermal power plant. In the study, it is aimed to produce a geopolymer brick with superior physical and mechanical properties compared to normal bricks and better thermal properties.
