Abstract

Geo-polymer concrete is an inventive and elective development material delivered by the substance activity of inorganic particles as it is made without cement. In this study Geo-polymer concrete is made with a blend of fly ash and GGBS. This paper mainly reports the output of study and analysis on the behavior of the strength of geo-polymer concrete for M40 grade slender columns. The methodology involved examining columns with four varying diameters such as 1″, 2″,3″ and 4″ of Poly Vinyl Chloride pipes as slender columns with a standard length of 20″ in which, firstly pipes were tested empty then columns were filled with 100 percent cement in concrete and later columns filled with Geo-polymer concrete. These columns were placed under axial load in Universal Testing Machine, strength values assessed under a load of compression concrete with 100% cement mix prepared and tested that taken as reference mix and contrasted with Geo- polymer concrete. Load- Deflection characteristics were examined for all trials. It was observed that strength attained by Geo-polymer-based concrete is marginally lesser than that of concrete made with cement.
