Abstract

This research used metakaolin and clay containing amorphous silica and alumina after calcination at 700°C. Mechanical properties and fire resistance of geopolymer paste increase as the ratio of silica to alumina. Mix design composition on this research based on the ratio of silica to alumina. The ratios of silica to alumina for metakaolin paste are 1.4 and 1.8. While for clay paste the ratios that used are 2.8 and 3.2. Na2SiO3 and NaOH with 10 M and 8 M were used as alkali activator at this research. Based on the analysis, the effect of increasing ratio silica to alumina was increased fire resistance ability for both metakaolin and clay. However, initial compressive strength is affected not only by the ratio of silica to alumina but also the ratio of water to solid and SiO2/Na2O. The compressive strength decreases as the ratio of water to solid increases. Meanwhile, compressive strength increases as the ratio of SiO2/Na2O increases.
