An Experimental Investigation on Role of Geopolymer Concrete with GGBS in Rigid Pavements
In this Era, Concrete is one of the most used construction material due to its durability and economy. India uses tonnes of ready-mixed concrete each year. It is in Streets, Buildings, Highways, Bridges, tunnels, Dams, Railway. It was an average that 3 tonne of concrete is used by each person on earth. CO2 leads to global warming and it has a major part of green- house gases. Contribution of CO2 is 65% and out of this 7% is only from cement industry. India, China & USA generally consuming most of concrete produced. It was estimated that cement manufacturing was rising 2.5%. On the other hand plenty of materials are available with which cement can be replaced (Wikipedia). It is helping a lot in reduction of emission of CO2. Fly ash, slag, rise husk, GGBS are the things which are used for replacement. This concrete prepared is known as Geopolymer concrete. GPC is considered now complete replacement of cement. A lot of studies has been carried out by researcher that use of GGBS in Geopolymer concrete has improved the strength properties but its excess amount may reduce the strength. It has a history since 1940 but it is not so common till now[1].
