Abstract
Comparative Study of Strength of Fibre Reinforced Geo polymer Concrete and Conventional OPC Concrete
Highlights
Geo polymer concrete is a concrete in which the binder is entirely replaced by an inorganic polymer formed between a strong alkaline solution and an alumina silicate source
Carbon emissions can be significantly reduced by using alumina silicate geo polymer binders instead of Portland cement
Conventional Concrete keeps on gaining strength after 7 days whereas Geo polymer Concrete slows down in attaining strength after 7 days
Summary
Geo polymer concrete is a concrete in which the binder is entirely replaced by an inorganic polymer formed between a strong alkaline solution and an alumina silicate source. The quantity and ratio of alkaline solution used can affect the concrete strength and curing time. This project presents the results from studies on mix design development to enhance workability and strength of geo polymer concrete. A. Pavani et al (2016) carried out an experimental investigation to study the material and mixture proportions; the manufacturing processes, the fresh and hardened state characteristics of fly ash based geo polymer concrete to evaluate the compression behaviour of geo polymer concrete.
