    The document summarizes a study that investigated the effects of elevated temperatures on the microstructure of pumice-based geopolymer. Specifically, pumice-based geopolymer specimens were exposed to temperatures of 200, 400, 600, and 800°C for 3 hours. Residual strength was then tested after cooling, and microstructural analysis using FTIR and SEM found that specimens initially gray turned reddish and developed cracks at 600-800°C, indicating degradation from elevated heating.

    Abstract:
    Geopolymers are believed to provide good fire resistance. The effects of elevated temperatures on mechanical and microstructural
    properties of pumice based geopolymer were investigated in this study. Pumice based geopolymer was exposed to elevated
    temperatures of 200, 400, 600 and 800 C for 3 hours. The residual strength of these specimens were determined after cooling at
    room temperature and microstructures of these samples were investigated by FTIR and SEM analyses. Specimens which were
    initially grey turned reddish accompanied by appearance of cracks as temperatures increased to 600 and 800 C.
