Özet
In this study, the effect of substituting waste glass aggregate and recycled concrete aggregate (RCA) at different ratios (20%, 40%, 60%, 80%, 100%) on the compressive strength performance of geopolymer concretes reinforced with tire-derived textile fibers (TDTF) was investigated. A total of 22 different mixtures were prepared, and their 7-day and 28-day compressive strengths, water absorption rates, and ultrasonic pulse velocity (UPV) were determined. The results showed that TDTF improved compressive strength in both waste aggregate series, with a more pronounced contribution at 28 days. Increasing the waste glass aggregate content reduced 28-day compressive strength by 16–31% compared with the control mixture, whereas RCA mixtures showed only 1–4% strength loss up to 60% replacement and 17–19% loss at higher replacement levels. Glass aggregate mixtures generally exhibited higher early-age strength, while RCA mixtures performed better at 28 days. TDTF addition increased the 28-day compressive strength by approximately 25–30%, depending on aggregate type and replacement level. The lowest water absorption value was obtained in the fiber-reinforced glass aggregate series, whereas the highest value was measured in the RCA series, mainly due to the porous adhered mortar on RCA particles. Based on the compressive strength, water absorption, and UPV results, RCA replacement levels up to 60% and glass aggregate replacement levels of 40–60% may be considered suitable for the mixtures examined in this study.
