Effect of Industrial Pozzolana Materials on Geopolymer Concrete Mixes

Abstract

The gases emitted into the atmosphere increase significantly with time, due to many reasons, the most important of which is the Portland cement (PC) industry, which in turn represents the most used part of concrete work. To avoid this, the Pozzolanic materials used as substituted to OPC. Then alkaline activated to form the gel which known as aluminosilicate acts as the binder in concrete. Aluminosilicate materials such as silica Fume (SF), GGBS and Rice Husk Ash (RHA) used based geo-polymer concrete (GPC) in this study. Also, normal concrete with grade 45 (M45) is made, then slump test for fresh concretes and compressive strength test for cubes with 15cm3 are done for comparing both geopolymer concrete and M45 under different conditions.
