Abstract
Concrete is one of the fundamental materials in civil engineering especially structural
industries. The purpose of this project is to experimentally investigate the effect of
geopolymer concrete by replacing cement. In our project low calcium flyash based
geopolymer concrete is provided. In this concretic geopolymer cement is used instead
of ordinary portland cement, which is obtained from the reaction of low calcium
flyash with the alkaline solution i.e. sodium hydroxide and sodium silicate.This
project constitutes of testing of the geopolymer concrete cube containing varying
proportion of Fly Ash and GGBS for different periods of curing. Thus, after
accumulating all the materials, the molding of the samples for the longest curing
period (say 28 days) is done first and kept for curing. Consecutively, the samples are
then moulded for intermediate curing periods (say 28 days, 14 days and 7 days) and
tested accordingly. The construction industry is in demand of ecofriendly & greener
materials which are durable.As compared to the existing concrete materials fly ash is
advantageous but its uses as tested against strength & durability needs to be
confirmed. The project work emphasis on the research & development activity in
construction materials using fly ash with geopolymers.
