A Parameter to Assess the Strength of Fly Ash and GGBS-Based Geopolymer Concrete
Geopolymers are being developed as a new binder instead of cement paste for concrete production. Geopolymer paste binds with coarse aggregates, fine aggregates together, forming geopolymer concrete (GPC). Several researchers have used industrial waste by-products such as fly ash (F), ground granular blast furnace slag (GGBS) in combination with alkaline activator solutions in the production of geopolymer binders. Several variables have been identified in the published literature that influences the strength of GPC. This paper introduces a new parameter called “Binder Index (Bi)”, which combines the effects of different parameters, and can be considered as a unique parameter affecting the compressive strength of GPC, and thus help in the development of criteria based on the Binder Index for mix design of the GPC mixtures.
