India is one of the developing country that need to face environmental pollution. Have many ways to reduce environmental pollution that causes by production of Portland cement and cause by the increasing of waste material. Geopolymer concrete incorporating with Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag (GGBS) is one of the method. GGBS and alkaline liquid as a binder are being used to replace the Portland cement to produce geopolymer concrete. The alkaline liquid that been used in geopolymerisation is the combination of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and sodium silicate (Na2SiO3).In this study cube of 100mmx100mmx100mm of 30 cubes and 3 beams has been casted with varying molarity of 8M,10M,12M,14M and also water-fly ash ratio has been varied from 0.35 to 0.45. Wrapping and ambient curing is done to check the high strength. The final result shows that the durability strength increases with increase in molarity and wrapping curing. |
