Limited research has been done with the absence of silicate solution in the geopolymerization process by varying solid/liquid ratio and on how it works for that condition on mechanical and physical properties. This paper presents an investigation on the mechanical and physical properties of fly ash based geopolymer by varying solid to liquid ratio using sodium hydroxide as the only activator. In addition, the strength development also been investigated. The samples were prepared using 50mm x 50mm x 50mm mould and cured at an elevated temperature (60oC). It can be observed that the optimum compressive strength and density were obtained at solid/ liquid ratio of 4. In addition, the compressive strength of fly ash based geopolymer for all the solid to liquid ratio increased until 14 days and started to decrease later. © 2014 Trans Tech Publications, Switzerland. date: 2014 publisher: Trans Tech Publications Ltd official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-84914114825&doi=10.4028%2fwww.scientific.net%2fAMM.625.46&partnerID=40&md5=9836127bf91f65f3e133d3e62bf913c9 id_number: 10.4028/www.scientific.net/AMM.625.46 full_text_status: none publication: Applied Mechanics and Materials volume: 625 pagerange: 46-49 refereed: TRUE isbn: 9783038351818 issn: 16609336 citation: Abdul Rahim, R.H. and Azizli, K.A. and Man, Z. and Rahmiati, T. and Ismail, L.
