Abstract

The present paper mainly focuses on analytical study of geopolymer concrete (GPC) incorporating copper slag (CS) as fine aggregate. The beams were analyzed by using Ansys R15.0. Fly ash and ground granulated blast furnace slag were used as geopolymer binders. In our present investigation the specimens of the GPC with incorporating copper slag as the fine aggregate in the proportions of 0%,10%, 20%, 30%, 40% are made, and the parameters such as compressive stress, Max. Equivalent stresses (Von-Misses stress), Max. Normal Stress, Max. Normal Elastic Strain, Max. Shear Stress, Max. Shear strain and Max. central deflection, flexural properties were found. The present study has given a final conclusion that the performance of reinforced geo polymer concrete (RGPC) beams was better than that of equivalent grade of reinforced conventional concrete beams.
