Mechanical and Durability Analysis of Geopolymer Concrete

Abstract

Geopolymer Concrete is an eco-accommodating material that utilizes source material which is wealthy in silica and alumina, for example, Fly Ash, Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag, and Silica Fume, Rice Husk and so on in mix with antacid fluids, for example, Sodium Hydroxide/Potassium Hydroxide and Sodium Silicate arrangement. Since the response that happens here is polymerisation, along these lines, the term Geopolymer Concrete was authored. Today one of the serious issues that the world is confronting is ecological contamination and a dangerous atmospheric devation. While discussing development industry basically the generation of Ordinary Portland bond (OPC) causes the emanation of toxins in exceptionally substantial sum which results in ecological contamination. The discharge of carbon dioxide in enormous sum amid the creation of Ordinary Portland concrete is a serious issue on the grounds that for the generation of one ton of OPC roughly one ton of carbon dioxide is radiated into the air. The Geopolymer Concrete Technology is by all accounts a promising option in contrast to regular OPC concrete. This report will survey the Mechanical And Durability Analysis of Geopolymer Concrete with the fundamental strategy of throwing of Geopolymer molds. Sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and sodium silicate (Na2SiO3) are the basic fluids that will be utilized in this examination. 3D square examples of size 150 x 150 x 150 mm will be casted and tried for their compressive quality. Dry Heat Curing will be embraced wherever raised temperature restoring is required, rest of the examples will be relieved at surrounding temperature. The compressive quality of Geopolymer concrete will be tried even following 28 days for example following 56 days. For every one of the examples the proportion of Na2SiO3: NaOH = 1.8 will be taken. No water will be added to the blend, Water ingestion of totals will be considered independently. The reason for the undertaking is to set up ideal qualities to plan Geopolymer concrete according to the material promptly accessible in Indian market and to feature Geopolymer Cement Concrete as an option in contrast to Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC).
