Comparative Study of Strength of Fibre Reinforced Geo polymer Concrete and Conventional (OPC) Concrete
Journal Title: International Journal of Trend in Scientific Research and Development - Year 2018, Vol 2, Issue 5
Abstract
Concrete is the world' most versatile, reliable and durable construction material. Concrete is the most used material, which requires large quantities of Portland Cement for its production. Ordinary Portland Cement production is the second major generator of carbon dioxide after automobile industry. In addition to that, large amount of energy is consumed for cement production. Hence, it is inevitable to find an alternative material to the most expensive and resource consuming Portland Cement. Geo polymer concrete is a futuristic construction material which is produced by the chemical action of inorganic molecules. Geo polymer concrete is produced without using any amount of ordinary portland cement. This geo polymer concrete has been studied vastly by many researchers in the past decade and studies suggest that geo polymer concrete is supreme to conventional cement concrete from structural as well as durability point of view. But it still suffers from a major drawback that it requires accelerated curing for its high early strength gain. In this research, the effect of introduction of various types of fibres on the compressive strength and split tensile strength of geo polymer concrete is been studied and comparison is done with conventional (OPC) concrete.
