Abstract |
|
fly ash is a noncombustible material obtained from the various thermal power plants. Since fly ash is available in large scale, it is disposed of in rivers and landfills and ponds by thermal industries which are posing danger to environment. Due to high pozzolanic activity of fly ash, efforts are being made to use it as a cement replacement material. GeoPolymer concrete makes 100 percent utilization of fly ash in concrete along with alkaline solutions, as a binder. The cube specimens and beams are casted for 2% and 4% super plasticizers and alkaline to fly ash ratio of 0.35. The compressive strength of cubes is compared to that of conventional cubes at 7, 14 and 28 days .it is observed that GeoPolymer concrete is economical as compared to normal concrete from compressive strength point of view. |
