COMPARITIVE STUDY ON EFFECT OF ALCCOFINE TO FLYASH AND GGBS TO FLYASH RATIOS ON GPC AT VARYING MOLARITIES

The usage of cement is increasing day by day for satisfying the need of development of infrastructure facilities. As the emission of carbon dioxide during the production of cement is more and thus causes serious problems to degradation of environment. In view of this, there is a significant expectation on the researchers to reduce co2 emission. In order to reduce the usage of ordinary Portland cement, there is a need to find the alternate material to the cement. Geopolymer concrete is a new generation concrete and it uses GGBS, flyash, alccofine and alkaline solution as the binding materials. Fly ash is a byproduct from coal industry and GGBS is aalso a byproduct from steel industry, both are widely available in the country. Replacing GGBS and Alccofine with fly ash up to some broaden can take out oven curing and it gets reasonable to utilize ambient curing conditions successfully. This paper presents the influence of various fly ash GGBS and fly ash Alccofine mixes at different molarities of alkaline solutions on properties of geopolymer concrete and detecting workability, compressive strength, flexural and tensile strength on comparison with conventional concrete.
