FLEXURAL BEHAVIOUR OF GEOPOLYMER CONCRETE BEAMS USING GEOGRID

Over the last few decades, there has been considerable research in the field of geopolymer composites in various parts of the world. Interest on geopolymer composites is growing because of the fact that, unlike Portland cements, they consume no energy and is not detrimental to the environment. Tremendous surge in research in this area has been observed since there is the immense utilisation of waste products like fly ash, blast furnace slag etc. for manufacture of geopolymers. Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) became an important material in the production of concrete which act as its binder to bind all the aggregate together. This paper presents the study on Flexural Behaviour of geopolymer concrete beams, focused on the durability of concrete for three grades i.e., Ordinary, Standard and High strength grades have been arrived and compared with that of ordinary Portland cement concrete
