Geopolymer concrete can be used as one of the best alternatives to the regular OPC concrete.
While making Geopolymer the Cement is replaced by Fly Ash which is an industrial waste.
This study examines the effect of the temperature curing on the split tensile strength of Geopolymer concrete for the curing period of 24Hr, 48Hr, 72Hr.
This study also compares the split tensile strength of the Geopolymer concrete with the ordinary Portland Cement concrete at a time interval of 3 days, 7 days and 28 days.
The Alkaline to fly ash ratio was kept same as the water/cement ratio in the case of ordinary Portland cement concrete.
