An Experimental Study of Fibre Reinforced Geo Polymer Concrete using Fly ash, GGBS and Polypropylene Fibres with a Partial Replacement of Normal Sand by Quarry Dust

Abstract

This project deals with the experimental study to determine the properties of fresh and hardened concrete of fibre reinforced geo polymer concrete which contains Low calcium fly ash(class F), Granulated Ground Blast Furnace (GGBS), active alkaline liquids like Sodium hydroxide, Sodium silicate solutions, fine aggregates as natural sand and quarry dust, coarse aggregates and poly propylene fibres. Also this experiment deals with the study of partial replacement of natural sand by quarry dust and effect of change in water content ratio. Geo polymer requires a heat curing which is eliminated by adding Granulated Ground Blast Furnace (GGBS) so that in atmospheric temperature hardening of concrete can be achieved called as ambient curing.
