STRENGTH DETERMINATION OF SELF COMPACTING GEOPOLYMER CONCRETE BY AMBIENT CURING

Abstract

SCGC  (Self-Compacting  Geopolymer  Concrete)  is  an  most  revolutionary  development  in  concrete construction, and does not require any additional  compaction of concrete.  Geopolymer concrete materials are free from Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC). In this paper, the cement has been replaced by GGBS & Bottom Ash as binder material and study its effect on SCGC. GPC (Geopolymer Concrete) comprises of GGBS (Ground Granulated Blast furnance Slag) and Bottom Ash (BA) as an binder material. These binders are the by-product of steel power plant and thermal power plant. These are possessing good cementitious property and very high silica and alumino content. The source binders are activated by means of NaOH (Sodium Hydroxide) and Na 2 SiO 3  (Sodium Silicate) ratio of 2 and liquid/binder ratio of 0.5. The workability properties of SCGC such as filling ability and passing ability are assessed using slump flow,  T 50cm  slump flow,  L-box, J-ring, V-funnel  test.  The mixes  areprepared according to EFNARC specifications. The mechanical properties like compressive strength, split tensile strength and flexural strength are also evaluated.Different  mixes  are  prepared  with  binder  ratio  of  GGBS(100%):BA(0%),  GGBS(75%):BA(25%), GGBS(50%):BA(50%)  and exhibit its properties to achieve the high mechanical properties.
