Abstract
In modern days, one or the way, development of infrastructure plays a major role that decides upon the matrix of our lifestyle. The development of geopolymer concrete (GPC) is an important step towards the production of eco-friendly concrete. The effective usage of fiber content can reduce environmental pollution issues. An attempt was made to study the effect of the blend of metakaolin (MK) and ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBFS) with Gujcon CFR fiber as secondary reinforcement was added as source material on the performance of GPC to prevent the effects of thermal variation. Fine aggregate, coarse aggregate, sodium hydroxide, nano-silicon dioxide (nano-SiO2), and cement have been used in the present work to make geopolymer mortar (GPM). GGBFS and Gujcon CFR fiber have been replaced with metakaolin an interval of 25%. The ratio of liquid to solid is 0.45 to 0.55, with a rise of 0.05. The samples are tested for split tensile and compression. To identify the surface morphology and phases SEM, XRD and EDAX have been analyzed. It is evident from the result that an equal proportion of source material with liquid to binder ratio 0.5 has yielded the highest mechanical properties.
