Study of fly ash based geopolymer mortar : citric acid and sucrose as proposed natural based retarder

The geopolymer then has been introduced by Joseph Davidovits as a new binder to replace the OPC. The current limitation of geopolymer concrete, it only can be produce in precast concrete industries. Ibis case study is conducted to find a retarder that can slow the reaction of geopolymer so it can be...
