Abstract

Concrete remains a primary material in construction, with Portland cement as its main binder. The growing demand for construction leads to increased cement production, which contributes to CO₂ emissions, air pollution, and global warming. In response to these environmental challenges, geopolymer mortar emerges as a viable and sustainable alternative. This research explores the use of fly ash and rice husk ash as the main binders in geopolymer mortar, with marble waste serving as an additive. The research aims to observe the effects of these materials on compressive strength, porosity percentage, and setting time of the geopolymer mortar. The mortar samples were cast in cube shapes (5 cm × 5 cm × 5 cm), with 15 samples prepared for each mix design across a total of 10 design variations. Testing was conducted at ages 7, 14, and 28 days. The results showed that adding 10% marble waste yielded the highest compressive strength of 22.732 MPa and the lowest porosity of 10.16%. Additionally, each 1% increase in marble waste proportion reduced the final setting time by approximately 14.8 minutes. The research contributes to creating a strong and sustainable mix design that promotes innovation in geopolymer mortar.
