EXPERIMENTAL STUDY ON STRENGTH AND DURABILITY PROPERTIES OF GPC WITH GGBS

In the study, Concrete is the most extensively used construction material in the world with about six billion tones being produced every year. geopolymer concrete has the potential to substantially control CO2 emission. To produce more durable infra -structure capable of design life measured in hundreds of years. GPC is a hardened cementation paste made from GGBS and alkaline solution. The objective of the present study is to observe the effect of GGBS based on GPC and by replacing of 100% GGBS with OPC. The molarity of sodium hydroxide is 6molar, 8molar, and 10molar. The proportion of soluble activators is 1:2. Calcium silicate is framed when GGBS gets responded with sodium hydroxide and sodium silicate. A mix proportion for Geopolymer concrete was designed by assuming the unit weight of geopolymer concrete as 2400 kg/m3 . To conduct the GPC with GGBS to analyse the progressions of properties like strength and durability.
