Five, ten and fifteen percent by weight of fly ash was replaced by highly reactive metakaolin. Two type of fly ashes namely, ASTM class F and ASTM class C were used as a base material for the synthesis of geopolymer mortar. Eight molar sodium hydroxide solution mixed with sodium silicate solution was used as alkaline activator. For optimum geopolymerization, mortar was cured at sixty degree Celsius for twenty four hours duration. Results show different behavior of metakaolin replacement on compressive strength for two different types of fly ash based geopolymer mortar. Improvement in compressive strength was seen by addition of metakaolin in ASTM class F fly ash based geopolymer. On the other hand compressive strength was decreased abruptly in fly ash class C based geopolymer up to certain replacement level. © 2017 Trans Tech Publications, Switzerland. date: 2017 publisher: Trans Tech Publications Ltd official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85027056275&doi=10.4028%2fwww.scientific.net%2fKEM.744.131&partnerID=40&md5=4f19d24951bba13b4ad93cd8366c1bdc id_number: 10.4028/www.scientific.net/KEM.744.131 full_text_status: none publication: Key Engineering Materials volume: 744 74 pagerange: 131-135 refereed: TRUE isbn: 9783035711165 issn: 10139826 citation: Zahid, M. and Shafiq, N. and Nuruddin, M.F. and Nikbakht, E. and Jalal, A.
