Investigating the Rheology and Strength of Self-compacting Geopolymer Concrete Using Blast Furnace Slag and Flyash
rights: Biblioteka Uniwersytetu Zielonogórskiego
description: This article covers an experimental study that evaluates the use of industrial waste as a substitute for cement in self-compacting geopolymer concrete. To serve as a binder in geopolymer concrete with the further advantage of self-compaction, industrial residues such as blast furnace slag from the metals sector and flyash from thermal plants are researched for their fresh and hardened characteristics tapping into geo-polymerization.
description: Building energy requirements have risen drastically in the modern era, partly because of expanding populations and broadened human lifestyles. Greater energy demand, depletion of fossil resources, and environmental concerns constitute crucial motivating factors in building enticing and sustainable infrastructure. In the current situation, environmental management is an urgent problem that has to be highlighted.

description: An alkaline solution can be generated by maintaining a 2.5 ratio of sodium silicate to sodium hydroxide at 12M NaOH. Eleven mixes together with varied proportions of granulated ground blast furnace slag and flyash have been assessed for workability, strength with durability. The results of experimental work indicate that the development of self-compacting geopolymer concrete using a binder made exclusively of granulated ground BFS an industrial waste 12G100F0 is an effective combination that provides sufficient workability, strength, and durability.
