Geopolymer Concrete
Geopolymer concrete is made by waste materials such as fl y ash or slag from iron and metal production are used, which helps lead to a cleaner environment. The use of this concrete helps to reduce the wastes and also reduces carbon emission by reducing Portland cement demand. Composition of Geopolymer Concrete Ø Fly ash Ø GGBS Ø Fine aggregates and Ø Coarse aggregates Ø Catalytic liquid system (CLS): It is an alkaline activator solution (AAS) for GPCC. It is a combination of solutions of alkali silicates and hydroxides, besides distilled water. Application ofGeopolymer Concrete Ø Construction of Pavement Ø Retaining walls Ø Water tanks Ø Precast Bridge deck Properties of Geopolymer Concrete Mechanical property of Geopolymer Concrete Ø Geopolymer concrete will get its strength faster than Ordinary Portland cement concrete.
