Abstract |
|
Synthetic fibers used in our study are Polypropylene fibers, are engineered micro fibers with a unique "Triangular" Cross-section, used as secondary reinforcement of Concrete. The objective of this investigation is to study the effect of fibers on the mechanical properties of geopolymer concrete (GPC) with polypropylene. In this, Class F fly ash (FA) and ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBS) are used in equal proportions (FA_50-GGBS_50). Sodium silicate (Na2SiO3) and sodium hydroxide (NaOH) solution has been used as alkaline activator. Polypropylene fibers are used at fiber dosage of 0.1%, 0.15%, 0.2%, and 0.25% by volume of concrete respectively. In the present investigation it is proposed to study the mechanical properties viz. compressive strength, split tensile strength and flexural strength after 7, 28 and 90 days of ambient room temperature curing. |
