Strength and Durability Assessment of Geopolymer Concrete

Abstract

This paper aims at making and studying the different properties of Geopolymer concrete using the fly ash Geopolymer concrete is a family of inorganic polymer material so it use an alternative to conventional port-land cement concrete .By adding the geopolymer with fly ash for concrete construction reduce the pollution rate in the environment. It gives the merits such as strength and durability of concrete is improved compared to other additives mixing in geopolymer concrete. Compressive strength of geopolymer concrete using 10% replacement of fly ash is 25.42 N/mm². The compressive strength of the cubes decreases, when the percentage ratio of rice husk ash increases. Thus the geopolymer concrete is considered to be an environmentally pollution free construction material. Also it is provides cost reduction in project and eco-friendly green concrete.
