Geopolymer Concrete By Using Flyash And Ggbs As A Replacement Cement

Abstract

Concrete Has Occupied An Important Place In Construction Industry In The Past Few Decades And It Is Used Widely In All Types Of Constructions Ranging From Small Buildings To Large Infrastructural Dams Or Reservoirs. Cement Is Major Ingredient Of Concrete. The Cost Of Cement Is Increasing Day By Day Due To Its Limited Availability And Large Demand. At The Same Time The Global Warming Is Increasing Day By Day. Manufacturing Of Cement Also Releases Carbon Dioxide. In The Present Study An Attempt Been Made On Concrete And Also An Experimental Investigation On The Concrete Using By Replacing Cement With FLYASH And GGBS To Decrease The Usage Of Cement As Well As Emission Of Concrete. Experimental Studies Were Performed On Plain Cement Concrete And Replacement Of Cement With Fly Ash Is Done. In This Study The Concrete Mix Were Prepared By Using Fly Ash, Sodium Silicate, Sodium Hydroxide. A Comparative Analysis Has Been Carried Out For Concrete To The Geopolymer Concrete In Relation To Their Compressive Strength, Split Tension Strength, Acid Resistance And Water Absorption. The Concrete Made With Fly Ash Performed Well In Terms Of Compressive Strength, Split Tension Strength Acid Resistance And Water Absorption Showed Higher Performance At The Age Of 7,14,28 Days Than Conventional Concrete. And Also Two Different Types Of Acid Attack Is Done To Determine The And Compressive Strength Both On Conventional Concrete And Geo Polymeric Concrete.
