Geopolymer Concrete: Enhanced the Strength of Structural Elements Using Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag
Geopolymer concrete (GPC) is a cement-free concrete because it can be produced with less greenhouse gas emissions by substituting waste industrial by-products for cement. When materials rich in alumina and silica are processed in alkali, geopolymers belonging to the class of mineral aluminosilicate polymers are formed. However, insufficient research has been done in this field to allow researchers to focus on characterization, design and application studies for structural beam-column joints and geopolymer concrete. This paper covers a thorough experimental investigation of geo-polymer concrete under hot air curing and ambient curing conditions. Using industrial wastes (fly ash and ground granulated blast furnace slag) as cement substitutes can reduce the environmental impact of construction and reduce costs. A few experimental combinations with different mix ratios were developed, and novel and challenging properties were investigated. All the studied samples had strong strengths with higher molarity, fly ash and GGPS concentration. For optimum performance of beam-column joints, a mixture of 60% fly ash and 40% GGPS should be used. ANSYS software has been used to confirm and compare the experimental results. GPC can be used in structural components instead of conventional concrete, providing better properties and more desirable structural performance, completely eliminating the need for cement in concrete.
