Experimental Investigation of Mechanical Properties of Geopolymer Concrete Using Combination of Steel and Glass Fiber

EasyChair Preprint no. 7614

Abstract

Concrete is one of the most generally utilized development materials, it is typically connected with Portland concrete as the fundamental part of making concrete. The interest for concrete as a development material is on the increment. It was estimated that the production of cement will increase about from 1.5 billion tons in 1995 to 2.2 billion tons in 2015. Then again, environmental change because of an Earth-wide temperature boost, one of the best ecological issues has turned into a main pressing issue during the last ten years. Human activities enhance the release of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, such as CO2, causing global warming. CO2 accounts for around 65 percent of global warming among greenhouse gases. The concrete business is liable for around 6% of all CO2 discharges because the production of one ton of Portland cement emits approximately one ton of CO2 into the atmosphere. As far as diminishing an Earth-wide temperature boost, the geopolymer innovation could lessen the CO2 outflow to the climate brought about by concrete and totals enterprises by around 80%. The research utilized low-calcium (ASTM Class F) fly ash as the base material, GGBS, alkaline solution for making geopolymer concrete. The concrete properties studied included the compressive strength, flexural strength and split tensile strength behaviour of the concrete upon using fibres (glass and crimped steel).

Keyphrases: Crimped steel fibre, Glass fibre, Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag
