Construction industry is dominated by new materials which are ecologically violable and feasible solution for ever growing architectural industry. Effort are in progress all over the world to develop environment friendly construction materials which minimizes the utility of natural resources and helps to decrease green house gas emissions in to the atmosphere. The green house gas releases in the atmosphere is increasing day by day due to ordinary Portland cement production. In this connection, Geopolymer is in need, where the binders used in the production of geopolymer concrete is inorganic polymers. Geopolymer concrete will be introduced as an alternative concrete which did not use any cement in its mixture and used Metakaoline and GGBS as alternative cement. NaOH and Na2SiO3 were used as activator solution. The fixed ratio of sodium silicate to sodium hydroxide is 2.5 and the concentration of sodium hydroxide is 8 Molar. The geopolymer concrete specimens are casted and tested in the laboratory for compressive strength, Split Tensile Strength and Flexural Strength for 3 Days, 7 Days and 28 days and cured at ambient temperature. This study helps in gaining knowledge about the morophological composition of geopolymer concrete which might result in path-breaking trends in research and construction industry. |
