To Develop Geopolymer Concrete by Using Pozzolanic Industrial Waste and to Study Their Durability and Mechanical Property

In this study, the experimental development of the geopolymer concrete mix design process is done using the hit and trial method. By changing the proportion of different ingredients of geopolymer concrete that was established by the previous researchers (Vijaya Rangan B in Indian J, 2008), we found out their compressive strength and modelled the interrelation between them. From the various factors, we study the relationship between the fly ash content and alkaline activator content to fly ash content ratio with compressive strength of concrete after curing the specimen of 15 cm * 15 cm * 15 cm at 80 ℃ for 48 h, thereby making a model curve to depict the relation. Further by using the same procedure and the IS10262:2019, we make an M30 concrete and study its mechanical properties and durability to justify and validate the process of mix design that was modelled. It was analyzed from the result that the Indian standard code 10262:2019 and model curves themselves can be used for the development of geopolymer concrete with some design modification and quality regulations.
