 ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

With a deep sense of gratitude and proud respect, I convey our heartfelt indebtedness to
our guide, Sinhgad Academy of Engineering, Pune for his encouragement during our seminar.
I feel overwhelmed, while expressing my reverence and gratitude to my respected teacher.

I would like to thank Dr. K. P. Patil, Principal, Sinhgad Academy of Engineering,

Pune for his incessant inspiration in our academic career during the institution study.

I am also thankful to Prof. R. B. Bajare, Head of Civil Department, Sinhgad

Academy of Engineering, Pune, Maharashtra for their support and for giving an immense
knowledge about the site and various construction safety.

I am also very thankful to {seminar guide’s name}, Assistant Professor for their
complete guidance and support during the site visit and during the Academics as well as
Curriculum.

It was very helpful for us to have immense knowledge about SEMINAR and the various
measures taken for it. It was helpful because the topic was somewhat different and something
new.

I am also thankful to my parents, my seniors, juniors and my colleagues for their kind co-
operation and support. Lastly, I am very grateful to all the professors, staff of civil engineering
department and the people who directly and indirectly helped me.

 ABSTRACT

Geopolymers, silico-aluminate materials formed through mimicking natural rock forming

process, are fast emerging as new class of greenbuilding construction materials. In the process of geo-
synthesis,silicon (Si) and aluminium (Al) atoms react to form molecules that arechemically and
structurally comparable to those binding natural rock andallows for novel products synthesis that
exhibit the most ideal properties ofrock-forming elements, i.e., hardness, chemical stability and
longevity.
Flyash, blast furnace slag and red mud are the three major industrial wastes inIndia. Presently
over 100 million tonnes of fly ash, 12 million tonnes ofblast furnace slag and nearly 4 million tonnes of
red mud are generated. It isestimated that production of these wastes will double in foreseeable
futuredue to rapid expansion coal based power generation, and increase in theproduction of iron &
steel and aluminium through primary processing. Thesewaste materials contain SiO2 and Al2O3 ,
along with Fe2O3 , CaO , MgO, MnO ,etc, and have immense potential as man made raw materials
forgeopolymers.
During geopolymerisation process, the alumino-silicate fraction reactswith alkaline media and
transform into a solid geopolymer product, via a dissolution-polycondensation-structural
reorganisation mechanism, to developstrength. Blast furnace slag behaves differently during
geopolymerisationas compared to fly ash and clay. This is attributed to its higher reactivity dueto
mostly glassy structure which, leads to faster dissolution of Si and Al duringgeopolymerisation.
The  CaO portion of the slag particles does not necessarilyparticipate in polycondensation, but reacts
with water and may undergo hydrationreaction. It has also been reported that addition of blast
furnaceslag in the conventional silico-aluminate geopolymer cement and concreteimproves setting
characteristics. Use of red mud in geopolymers appearsto be an attractive proposition from the point of
view of its high alkaline content. However, there have very limited attempts in this direction.
