This paper reports the characterization of Sarawak
Fly Ash. The main focus is to identify the mechanical
properties of geopolymer using Sarawak Fly Ash. The
studies show that Sarawak Fly Ash can be an attractive
construction material with respect to the high compressive
strength obtained from Unconfined Compression Test. A
series of tests are performed in this research such as
scanning electron microscope, compressive strength test,
x-ray fluorescence and particle size distribution. The
results obtained show that SFA is predominantly smaller
than 40µm, the compressive strength of sample curing for
1 day and 7 days are 42MPa ...

The morphology of the Sarawak Fly Ash has also been studied. The strength development in geopolymer using Sarawak Fly Ash was mainly influenced by its particle size.
