Abstract
In this study aims to demonstrate the significance of Self-Compacting Geo-Polymer Concrete (SCGPC) in structures with congested reinforcement. To achieve good compatibility, ordinary geopolymer concrete must be compacted with a lot of vibration. It can be replaced with selfcompacting Geo-Polymer Concrete (SCGPC), which do not require any type of compaction. Under its own weight, it fills every corner of the formwork. A less difference between deformability and stability is needed for the effective production of self-compacting geopolymer concrete. Researchers have developed some guidelines for proportioning self-compacting geopolymer concrete mixtures, which include i) lowering the aggregate-to-cementitious-material ratio. (ii) Raising the volume of the paste and w/c ratio as well as (iii) using different viscosity-enhancing admixtures in order to achieve high mobility in selfcompacting geopolymer concrete, superplasticizers are typically needed. Segregation may be avoided by using a viscosity changing admixture or a large volume of powdered content. Fly ash, GGBFS, Silica Fume, Metakaolin, and slag, among other powdered materials, may be applied.
