Abstract:
“Geopolymer is a new development in the world of concrete in which cement is totally replaced by pozzoloanic materials like fly ash and activated by highly alkaline solutions (NaOH/Na2SiO3) to act as a binder in the concrete mix”. Geopolymer concrete utilizes an alternate material including fly ash as binding material in replace of cement and As some of the surveys said one tone manufacturing of cement produces nearly one tone of carbon dioxide and which in turn produces greenhouse gases which cause global warming. Present work selects two l industrial by products such as fly ash and ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBFS) to manufacture geo polymer concrete. Three Molarities of NaOH 6M, 8 M, 10 M, are considered with the replacement of fly ash with GGBFS and as per Indian Standard Specimens are casted and tested at room temperature curing.
