Performance Of Geopolymer Concrete Under Various Curing Conditions

Shankar H. Sanni, Dr. R. B. Khadiranaikar

Abstract :

This paper presents the study done on development of strength for various grades of geopolymer concrete with various types of curing conditions (ambient, steam and oven curing). The grades choosen for the investigation were M–40, M–50 and M–60, the mixes were designed for molarity of 12 M. The test specimens were 150x150x150 mm cubes, 100x200 mm cylinders, for hot air oven and steam curing the specimens were cured at 60°C. The alkaline solution used for experimental study is a combination of sodium silicate and sodium hydroxide solution with the ratio of 2.5. Out of these three curing conditions heat curing gave better results. Since it utilizes the industrial wastes such as fly ash for producing the binding system in concrete, it can be considered as eco–friendly materials.
