Abstract :

Research For Complete OPC Free Concrete Is Still Evolving And There Is A Need For Developing Alternative Binding Agents Which Are Environmentally Friendly. One Such Alternative Is Identified To Be Geopolymer Which Often Consists Of Fly Ash, Sodium Silicate, And Sodium Or Potassium Hydroxide (NaOH Or KOH). Since, Many Coal Based Power Plants In India Have Been Retiring Due To Thrust Towards Cleaner Energy Production And This May Lead To Scarcity Of Fly Ash In Future. The Production Of Ordinary Portland Cement And The Usage Of Normal River Sand Are Increased Due To The Demand Of Concrete In Construction Industries. The Emission Of CO2 Increases During The Production Of Cement And At The Same Time The Availability Of River Sand Is Also Becoming Costlier And Scarcity Due To Illegal Dredging Of River Sand. The Main Intension Of This Research Paper Is To Focus The Eco Friendly Alternative Material For The Cement And River Sand. Hence The Objective Of This Study Is To Incorporate Other Pozzolanic Materials In Geopolymer Concrete. In Line With Objective Two Pozzolanic Material Metakaolin Was Used To Replace Fly Ash In Geopolymer Concrete And The Percentage Of M-sand In Place Of River Sand. Concrete Mix Design Of M30 Were Done Based On Indian Standard Code Guidelines. Concrete Cubes Specimens Were Tested For Evolving The Strength And Durability By Varying The Percentages Of Metakaolin And M-sand In Concrete The Percentage Replacement Of Metakaolin And Msand In Geopolymer Concrete By Using 0%MK+0%M-sand, 2.5%MK+5%M-sand, 5%MK+10% M-sand, 7.5%MK +15%M-sand, 10%MK+20%M-sand. The Various Tests Like Compressive, Tensile, Flexural And Durability Tests Are Performed On Geopolymer Concrete By Varying Percentages Of Metakaolin And M-sand.
