4 Introduction

The advancements and applications of geo-polymer concrete have

revolutionized the construction industry. This presentation provides a
comprehensive investigation into the properties, benefits, and potential
applications of geo-polymer concrete .

The exceptional properties of geo-polymer concrete, including high

strength, low permeability, and resistance to chemical attacks, make it an
ideal choice for infrastructure development. Its rapid strength development
and fire resistance further enhance its suitability for diverse applications
 Objectives

❑ To understand the composition and properties of geo-polymer

concrete.
❑ To study the effect of curing temperature and curing period on geo-
polymer on concrete.
❑ To determine the adequate method of curing for optimum result.
❑ To compare properties with conventional concrete.
❑ To determine sustainability of Geo-polymer concrete.

Literature Review

Ganapati Naidu (2012)

He investigate to study strength properties of geopolymer
concrete using low calcium fly ash replacing with slag in 5 different
percentages. Sodium silicate (103 kg/m3 ) and sodium hydroxide of 8
molarity (41kg/m3 ) solutions were used as alkalis in all 5 different mixes
M1, M2, up to M5. With maximum (28.57%) replacement of fly ash with
slag (Mix no5), achieved a maximum compressive strength of 57MPa for
28 days. The same mix (Mix no5) is shown 43.56 MPa after exposure of
500°C for 2 hours. Higher concentrations of result in higher compressive
strength of geopolymer concrete. Mixing of was tested up to 28.57%,
beyond that immediate setting was observed. There is no necessity of
exposing geopolymer concrete to higher temperature to attain maximum
strength. 90% of compressive strength was achieved in 14 days.

C. Sreenivasulu(2015)
He has investigated at studying the mechanical properties of
geopolymer concrete (GPC) using granite slurry (GS) as sand
replacement. GS was replaced at different replacement levels (0%, 20%,
40% and 60%). Fly ash and ground granulated blast furnace slag
(GGBS) were used at 50:50 ratio as geopolymer binders. It is concluded
that optimum replacement level (40%) of GS can be used of sand.

❖ From the above investigation we conclude that :-

✓ Geo-polymers are a perfect alternative to OPC concrete in terms of
strength performance.
✓ GPC reduces carbon footprints by using industrial solid waste like
fly ash and by reducing the use of cement.
✓ The GPC shows better mechanical properties compared to OPC
concrete. It shows better Durability to temperature.
✓ Steam curing is more suitable over hot air curing.
✓ The embodied energy of the GPC is less compared to the OPC
concrete for the same compressive strength
