Maximizing Performance of Geopolymer Mortar: Optimizing Basalt and Carbon Fiber Content Composition

Abstract

ABSTRACT This study focuses on the optimization of geopolymer composites, considering the parameters of composition and performance. The research explores the integration of algorithm-built hybrid implementations and a hybrid intelligent system to solve complex optimization problems in geopolymer composite materials. Firstly, an algorithm-built hybrid implementation is proposed, combining experimental results with various data processing methods. This approach enables the utilization of composite algorithms, offering several advantages, such as scalability and adaptability to different loads. The models developed in this study provide a flexible and extensible architecture, allowing for efficient problem-solving in optimization tasks. Secondly, a hybrid intelligent system is introduced, comprising statistical simulation models that combine different control and design problem-solving approaches. Markov chains are employed to address the quantitative aspects of loosely structured tasks and process performance evaluation. Criterion methods are utilized for quantitative conclusions, ensuring the optimal adaptation of the results from both applications. The research culminates in the identification of the optimal composition, denoted as G + FC + CFI, with specific weight content. This composition consists of cement, activator, fireclay, and carbon fiber I, with 100 g, 90 g, 100 g, and 2.5 g, respectively. The findings from this study provide valuable insights into the optimization of geopolymer composites, employing algorithm-built hybrid implementations and a hybrid intelligent system. The proposed approaches offer enhanced efficiency and accuracy in solving complex optimization problems in the field of geopolymer composite materials. The identified optimal composition demonstrates the potential for improving performance in composition and weight content.
