Comparative Analysis Of Geopolymer Concrete With Fine And Coarse Aggregates

Abstract

Abstract–In recent years, the Portland cement concrete market has spread universally. As a result of the rise in infrastructure, the market for concrete as a building material has risen. Portland cement concrete, however, causes concerns such as longevity and production of carbon dioxide. There are also ways to minimize the emissions of the atmosphere (carbon dioxide) caused by the manufacture of cement from Portland and the rise in waste materials. At India's thermal power plants, about 120 million tons of fly ash are assembled per year. Due to the inadequacy of land disposal, it is a severe concern. Cement is absolutely replaced by the pozzolanic substance, which is a contemporary substance rich in silicon and aluminum such as fly ash referred to as "Geopolymer concrete". In reality, geopolymer concrete was created by the reuse and recycling of industrial solid waste and by goods. Various forms of geopolymer concrete with various aggregates are being analyzed in this article. There are two materials being studied and compared to each other. Both materials are exposed to compression, broken tensile , flexural and water absorption measures. Here the observations are compared and tabulated. The findings suggest that with the increase in molarity, there is an increase in the overall strength of the GPC with fine and coarse aggregates. Relative to the other two aggregates, GPC with GBFS aggregate displays a larger percentage of water absorption and a lower percentage of overall strength..
