Durability tests of alccofine and flyash based GPC

Abstract

This paper presents the outcomes on an exploratory program conveyed to investigate the chance of fly ash and alccofine as complete substitution of cement in Geopolymer concrete. GPC mixes were designed in such a way that flyash and alccofine proportions are taken as M1 F100A0, M2 F90A10, M3 F80 A20, M4 F70 A30, M5 F60 A40, M6 F50A50, for which M3 F80A20 is taken as optimum mix based on economic conditions. Experimental programme developed to check the durability properties like Acid attack test (H2SO4), Chloride attack test (HCL), Nitrate attack test (HNO3), Sulphate attack test (Na2SO4), and water absorption test. The compressive strength of Geopolymer concrete and change in mass percentages were indicated by the tests results.
