Utilization of waste materials in the development of Geopolymer Concrete: A New Innovation

Paramjeet Kaurin, Syed Imran Shah

Abstract


The production of cement increases the green house effect to a large scale, therefore harms the environment to a large extent. So there was a need to invent new materials that must be ecofriendly.Geoploymer is one of such invention. in geopolymer Fly ash or GGBS is used instead of cement & alkaline solution is used to bind all the materials.flyash is a waste materials from thermal power plant having silica & alumina content. Every year it is produced in large tonnes & dumped in open environment which pollute the atmosphere but that flyash can be used to make green concrete .This Paper is about the compressive strength of GPC, water absorption & economic analysis.
