Bio-Medical Waste Ash (BMWA) in Geopolymer Concrete (GPC) has been studied for its potential use as a substitute for Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag (GGBS). The raw materials were determined to have physical and chemical characteristics. Bio-medical waste ash was used for GGBS at 0%, 1%, 2%, 3%, 4%, 5% 6%, 7%, 8%, 9% and 10% by weight replacement. The mixing proportion of the GGBS, M-Sand, and Alkaline solution is 1:2.21:3.48, respectively. A compressive strength test was performed for all of the specimens. Results showed that up to 10 % of BMWA replacement for GGBS had higher compressive strength than a standard mix (0 % BMWA). Use 7 % BMWA after 28 days of curing, the maximum compressive strength of 39.8 N / mm2 was achieved. After 28 days of curing, specimens prepared using 13 M NaOH yielded a better compressive strength than the normal mix. At 28 days of curing time, the average compressive strength of 40.12 N / mm2 was reached.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
