Ternary Blended Geo-Polymer Concrete – A Review

Abstract

The manufacturing of ordinary Portland cement produces carbon di oxide which is responsible for global warming. Geopolymer concrete in the field of construction leads to economic sustainability and reduces adverse effects on environment. Geopolymers are inorganic polymers obtained from chemical reaction between an alkaline activator’s solution and an alumina-silicate material without using cement. Alkali activators are Homogeneous mixture consisting of two (NaOH and Na2SO3) or more chemicals in different proportions are highly corrosive and difficult to handle. There are still some limitations with respect to the alkaline activators in geopolymer concrete. To overcome ordinary portland cement, many wastes materials such as Silica-fume, GGBS, fly ash etc. have been used in recent studies to create eco-friendly cements by geo-polymerization reactions. Geopolymers are economic & good alternative construction material in making concrete This review paper briefly explains on previous literatures, properties, materials of geopolymer concrete, testing and practical applications of geopolymer concrete.

Mechanical Properties of Quaternary Blended Geopolymer Concrete

“…Furthermore, this study sheds light on the enhancement of construction materials by utilizing industrial waste materials, contributing to more environmentally friendly practices. Various durability tests are conducted on the ternary blended GPC to assess its performance [6]. A survey of the prior literature identified a research gap in the thorough investigation of self-compacting geopolymer concrete using a ternary blend with Graphene Oxide.…”

Studies on the Mechanical Properties of Ternary Blended Geopolymer Concrete using Fly ash, GGBS and Alccofine

“…The initial test on FA based concrete under temperature curing gave significant high-test results compared to ambient cured method. But curing under high temperature and also under water make the properties take off edge [9][10][11][12]. Pradip Nath et al had changed the complete scenario by substituting FA with GGBS at different proportions there by increase in the calcium content leads to phase up the geo polymerization action in the surrounding temperature [13][14][15].…”
