AN EXPERIMENTAL STUDY ON BOND CHARACTERISTICS OF GEOPOLYMER CONCRETE
Abstract
The major downside that the globe is facing these days is that the environmental pollution. Within the industry chiefly the assembly of standard Portland cement (OPC) can cause the emission of pollutants which ends in environmental pollution. The assembly of 1 ton of Portland cement emits just about 850kg of greenhouse emission into the atmosphere. A shot during this regard is that the replacement of Portland cement with materials of biological origin or by-product materials likes FLYASH, GGBFS etc. The silicon present in GGBFS associated FLYASH could be activated with a alkaline liquid that is a combination of sodium silicate and sodium hydroxide solutions to make alkaline activated paste that binds alternative unapproachable materials. During this work the influence of fly ash and GGBFS on the strength of geo-polymer concrete activated by exploitation 8M base-forming solutions for different fluid to binder ratios. Within the present work, the strength characteristics of geo polymer Concrete fly ash and GGBS in Compression and further as Bond were studied. To check the BOND STRENGTH of concrete, 16mm diameter mild and HYSD steel bars were used.
