Analyse and investigate the geopolymer based concrete

Geopolymer is a material which will be obtained by many scraps like soot, coming out from thermal power plants like iron as well as manganese production industry and acts as a virtuous replacement for cement. By using those disposable waste products we will decreases the effect of contamination to environment. At the same time, the material will be used to make the geopolymer concrete. Geopolymer mainly act as a replacement for cement. Since cement production causes the huge carbon-di-oxide emission to the environment and massive raw materials and energy are required to make as the product. The geopolymer concrete are made by using fly ash, ground granulated blast-furnace, fine aggregate, coarse aggregate, water as well as chemicals namely sodium silicates and sodium hydroxide. The chemicals helps to take polymerization reaction along with silicates, aluminates present in fly ash. By replacing the usage of cement by geopolymer material, the green house effects get decreases. The paper explores the influence of fly ash and ground granulated blast furnace slag is studied by casting the specimen for M15, M20, and M25 qualities of cement. This initial test is done on the materials used for casting the specimen. The specimens were casted for different grades. After the curing period the specimen’s potency as well as resilience behavior of geopolymer cement are observed by conducting the various experiments such as compressive strength test, flexural strength, split tensile strength. Finally, the optimal content of geopolymer to be added for concrete is derived and that percentage will be useful for construction field.
