Experimental Study on Behavior of Geopolymer Tiles with Fly ash and GGBS

Around the world, concrete is most frequently used for all construction purpose due its ease of the operation, good mechanical strength and economical. However, the excessive usage of the concrete results in more consumption of the cement during the manufacturing huge amounts of carbon dioxide is released. The, geopolymer concrete has a lower carbon footprint than conventional concrete. The alumina and silicate-holding materials will react with each other with the alkaline activators which will result in the formation of the geopolymer concrete which can be used as the replacement for the OPC. In this experiment geopolymer tiles are manufactured using different normality 6N, 8N, 10N of Sodium Hydroxide. For the 8N NaOH in the mix has given the maximum strength and used for further studies .The study is also conducted with varying ratio of fly ash and GGBS and 25% FA - 75%GGBS ratio has given the maximum strength in the test results.
