“CRITICAL REVIEW ON INFLUENCE OF CURING ON PROPERTIES GEOPOLYMER CONCRETE USING INDUSTRIAL WASTE.”

Abstract

Concrete is the world’s most versatile material and reliable construction material, which required large quantities of Ordinary Portland Cement production. Ordinary Portland Cement Concrete is the second only to the automobile as major generator of carbon dioxide. 5 to 8% of world’s manmade greenhouse gas emission is from cement industry itself. To overcome it, in recent years, researchers have focused on finding an alternative to Ordinary Portland Cement to reduce carbon footprint. Natural material will be scarce in future, to find alternative solution by using such waste and also decrease the scarcity of landfill space. This paper is consist of critical review based on various literature. The different research already taken place in this particular area of the commercially available superplasticizer based concrete improves the workability of fresh concrete. The work on setting time of Geopolymer concrete was also studied. The Geopolymer concrete have short initial setting time of about 20 minutes. The Geopolymer with mrtacolin seen good workability but deterioration in same environment is reported. Studies related to effect of various molarity in different types of curing method using various industrial waste is one of the area which still undiscovered for geopolymer concrete. Such type of review is also helpful in explore current status of research in the domain of geopolymer concrete.
