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.
