This study aims to investigate the self-healing capability of engineered geopolymer composites (EGCs) produced with 100% construction and demolition waste (CDW)-based materials. In order to determine the effect of ground granulated blast furnace slag (S) addition on CDW-based mixtures, additional geopolymer mixtures were produced with slag substitution without changing the Si/Al ratio. NaOH is the primary activator; however, Na2SiO3 and Ca(OH)2 are also investigated as additional activators. Half of the specimens were preloaded to crack them, and all specimens were exposed to wetting and drying cycles. At different wetting and drying cycles, electrical impedance and water absorption rates were determined to assess self-healing; additionally, optical images were captured. X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy investigations were carried out to characterize the self-healing products. The test results show that the chemical structure of the CDW-based geopolymeric composite provides self-healing capability, which essentially originates from its calcium and sodium content sourced from raw material and activator. Based on microstructural test results, CDW-based geopolymer composites are healed with CaCO3 formations, and slag incorporation makes self-healing reactions steadier. However, when NaOH exists with Ca(OH)2 and Na2SiO3, a higher early geopolymerization process consumes the ions that participate in the autogenous self-healing process. Na2CO3 is recognized as an early healing product; however, some Na2CO3 is dissolved during the progressive wetting period. At the end of the healing period, CaCO3 is detected as a major healing agent. Additionally, continuing geopolymerization has been identified in the healed cracks. Within this context, the results confirm that the self-healing behavior of EGC is similar to Portland cement-based cementitious composites.

Effects of boron compounds on thermal degradation behaviour of polymers involving ester linkages Çetinkaya, Nezaket Nehir; Hacaloğlu, Jale; Kaynak, Cevdet; Department of Polymer Science and Technology (2021-2-10) Interest in polymer nanocomposites is growing exponentially across various scientific and engineering disciplines owing to their remarkable improvements in theirproperties compared to micro-and macro-conventional composites. Although polymers having good physical properties are commercially available, they are mostly hampered by their low melting temperatures, poor mechanical or barrier properties. Therefore, there is a considerable work on improvement of the proper...
Effect of Presoaked Expanded Perlite Aggregate on the Dimensional Stability and Mechanical Properties of Engineered Cementitious Composites KESKİN, SÜLEYMAN BAHADIR; Sulaiman, Kamaran; Sahmaran, Mustafa; Yaman, İsmail Özgür (American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), 2013-06-01) This paper reports on an investigation of the use of expanded perlite aggregate as saturated lightweight aggregate (LWA) with respect to the mechanical and dimensional stability properties of engineered cemetitious composites (ECC). Expanded perlite aggregate was soaked in water for 24 h before its use in ECC, and replaced 10, 20, and 30% of the aggregate that was used in ECC production. The mixture proportion of a standard ECC mixture with properties that have been extensively reported in the literature is...
Effects of SiC particulates on the fatigue behaviour of an Al-alloy matrix composite Kaynak, Cevdet (2006-01-01) In this study, the fatigue behaviour of aluminium matrix-silicon carbide (SiC) particulate reinforced composite specimens was investigated in comparison to the matrix aluminium alloy containing 12 wt% Si. Three different weight percentages of SiC particulates: 5, 10, and 15 in the size range of 40-60 gm were injected into the melt. Mg was also added to improve the wettability of Al-alloy matrix over SiC particulates resulting in better interfacial bonding. Test specimens were machined from squeeze casting b...
Effects of main transformer replacement on the performance of an electric arc furnace system Akdag, A; Cadirci, I; Nalcaci, E; Ermiş, Muammer; Tadakuma, S (2000-03-01) In this paper, the effects of transformer replacement on the electric are furnace power system of an iron and steel plant have been investigated. The new operating strategy has been determined according to stable are and maximum productivity requirements. Based on these new operating conditions, the sufficiency of the existing flicker compensation system in terms of the load balancing, power-factor correction, and flicker have been examined. All investigations made in this work are supported by real-time me...
Effect of resin and fiber on the abrasion, impact and pressure resistance of cylindrical composite structures Kaya, Derya; Yılmazer, Ülkü; Department of Chemical Engineering (2011) The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of resin and fiber on the abrasion, impact and internal pressure resistances of fiber reinforced plastic composite pipes produced by continuous filament winding method. For this study, pipe samples were produced with different combinations of resin type, fiber type, fiber amount and fiber length. All the samples were tested in accordance with the related ISO (International Organization for Standardization), DIN (German Standardization Institution) and BSI...
