PENGARUH VARIASI MOLARITAS NaOH TERHADAP SIFAT MEKANIK, POROSITAS, DAN PERMEABILITAS PADA BETON POROUS GEOPOLIMER
This study aims to analyze the effect of NaOH molarity variation (13 M, 14 M, 15 M, 16 M, 17 M) on the mechanical properties, porosity, and permeability of fly ash-based geopolymer porous concrete. The experimental method involved casting cylindrical samples (Ø10 cm × 20 cm) using coarse aggregates (9.5–12.5 mm), an alkali activator/fly ash ratio of 0.45, and oven curing at 80°C for 24 hours. Results indicated that 15 M NaOH yielded optimal compressive strength of 9.10 MPa (28 days) and split tensile strength of 3.60 MPa (28 days), with a porosity of 28.0340% and permeability of 1.4147 cm/s. Increased NaOH molarity enhanced geopolymer matrix density due to improved reactivity of silica (SiO₂) and alumina (Al₂O₃) in fly ash. However, molarities >15 M reduced compressive strength due to alkali segregation. Permeability values met ACI 522R-10 standards (0.14–1.22 cm/s), while porosity remained within the acceptable range (15–35%). This study recommends 15 M NaOH for sustainable geopolymer porous concrete applications in infrastructure.
