Opis

The purpose of this study is to evaluate and compare the optimum mix design of cement-based and geopolymer-based coatings in terms of durability and mechanical properties. The first important point of this research is the use of a special marine artificial environment that can simulate the harsh condition of the Persian Gulf with the highest accuracy and degree of adaptation to place the samples. Further, the use of siliceous aggregates with a maximum size of one millimeter made it possible to apply very thin coatings (about 5 mm) which can result in a significant reduction in the use of materials. Also, pozzolanic materials applied in this study, known as GGBFS and silica fume, are industrial by-products that are available and cost-effective materials inside the country.
