The document summarizes a study on the strength and durability characteristics of geopolymer concrete using ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBS) and black rice husk ash (BRHA). GGBS was used as the base material for the geopolymer concrete and was replaced with 0-30% BRHA. The compressive strength of the mixtures was tested at various ages. The results showed that replacing GGBS with BRHA decreased the compressive strength due to the unburnt carbon content in BRHA. A 10% replacement of GGBS with BRHA provided adequate compressive strength while reducing the carbon footprint of the concrete.
A Study on Groundnut Husk Ash (GHA)–Concrete under Acid AttackIJMER
This paper presents the findings of an investigation on the compressive strength of
Groundnut Husk Ash (GHA)-Concrete and its resistance to acid attack. The GHA used was obtained
by controlled burning of groundnut husk to a temperature of 600 oC and sieved through 75 µm sieve
after allowing cooingl. The compressive strength of GHA-Concrete was investigated at replacement
levels of 0, 5, 10, 20, 30 and 40 %, respectively by weight of cement. A total of ninety 150 mm cubes of
GHA-Concrete grade 20 were tested for compressive strength at 3, 7, 28, 60 and 90 days of curing and
the microstructure of GHA-Concrete samples at 0 and 10 % replacements were examined at 28 and 90
days of curing. Also, thirty six 100 mm cubes were subjected to attack from 10 % concentration of
diluted solution of sulphuric acid (H2SO4) and nitric acid (HNO3), respectively. The result of the
investigations showed that the compressive strength of concrete decreased with increase in GHA
content. However 10 % replacement with GHA was considered as optimum for structural concrete.
GHA provided a less compact microstructure of concrete at 28 and 90 days curing compared to OPC
concrete as a result of low pozzolanic activity. The use of GHA in concrete improved its resistance
against sulphuric acid, but not against nitric acid attack. The average weight loss of GHA concrete
after 28 days of subjection in sulphuric acid and nitric acid were 16.3 % and 17.3 %, respectively as
opposed to 22.4 % and 15.1 %, respectively for plain Portland cement concrete.

material. The geopolymer concrete is such a vital and promising one. In this study, geopolymer is
prepared from ‘Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag’ (GGBS) a powder from grinding the byproduct
of slag waste from blast furnace of steel plants and metakaolin from industry. The Alkaline
liquids used in this study for the polymerization process are the solutions of sodium hydroxide
(NaoH) and sodium silicate (Na2Sio3).A 8 Molarity and 10 Molarity solutions was taken to prepare
the mix. The cube compressive strength was calculated for different mixes. The cube specimens are
taken of size 150 mm x 150 mm x 150 mm. Ambient curing of concrete at room temperature was
adopted. In total 180 cubes were casted for their compressive strength at age of 28 days
respectively. The test data indicate that on exposure to 5% Sodium Sulphate, Sulphuric Acid and
Sodium Chloride, the losses in weight, and strength of geopolymer concrete (GPC) are
significantly much less than those for cement concrete. Thus the geopolymer concrete is considered
to be an environmentally pollution free construction material.

material. The geopolymer concrete is such a vital and promising one. In this study, geopolymer is
prepared from ‘Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag’ (GGBS) a powder from grinding the byproduct
of slag waste from blast furnace of steel plants and metakaolin from industry. The Alkaline
liquids used in this study for the polymerization process are the solutions of sodium hydroxide
(NaoH) and sodium silicate (Na2Sio3).A 8 Molarity and 10 Molarity solutions was taken to prepare
the mix. The cube compressive strength was calculated for different mixes. The cube specimens are
taken of size 150 mm x 150 mm x 150 mm. Ambient curing of concrete at room temperature was
adopted. In total 180 cubes were casted for their compressive strength at age of 28 days
respectively. The test data indicate that on exposure to 5% Sodium Sulphate, Sulphuric Acid and
Sodium Chloride, the losses in weight, and strength of geopolymer concrete (GPC) are
significantly much less than those for cement concrete. Thus the geopolymer concrete is considered
to be an environmentally pollution free construction material.

The extensive use of concrete as a structural material for the high rise buildings, storage tanks, nuclear reactors and
pressure vessels increase the risk of concrete being exposed to high temperatures. This has led to a demand to improve
the understanding of the effect of temperature on concrete. The behavior of concrete exposed to high temperature is a
result of many factors including the exposed environment and constituent materials.
Concrete structures are exposed to fire when a fire accident occurs. Damage in concrete structures due to fire depends
to a great extent on the intensity and duration of fire. The distress in the concrete manifests in the form of cracking and
spalling of the concrete surface.

COMPARATIVE STUDY OF COMPRESSIVE STRENGTH AND DURABILITY PROPERTIES ON GEOPOL...Journal For Research
The usage of practical advancement in structural building society has prompted the utilization of new materials with low environmental effects. One of the most commonly used construction material in the world is concrete, which is normally produced by OPC. However, the production of OPC has prompted ecological worries over the creation of CO2. Almost to create 1 ton of OPC 1 ton of CO2 is discharged to the atmosphere. With a specific end goal to diminish the utilization of OPC and CO2, the new concrete has been created, that is GEOPOLYMER CONCRETE. Latest research has demonstrated that it is conceivable to utilize fly ash or slag as a binder in concrete by activating them with alkali components through a polymerization procedure. This paper reports the point of interest of the test work that has been embraced to examine the strength and durability properties of ultra-fine slag and processed fly ash mortar mixes. At first specimens were casted for normal GGBS and fly ash in the ratio of 100:0, 75:25, 50:50, 25:75 and later for the best ratio (75:25), GGBS is replaced by ultra-fine GGBS by 7.5, 12 and 20%. Samples were compared with cured at ambient temperature and oven curing. The results showed that mix proportion of 20% replacement of ultra-fine GGBS gave the maximum strength for both oven and ambient curing (76.2 and 91.1 MPa). Even all the durability properties are within the permissible limits.
Effectiveness of Use of Rice Husk Ash as Partial Replacement of Cement in Con...IJMER
India is a major rice producing country, and the husk generated during milling is mostly
used as a fuel in the boilers for processing paddy and producing energy through direct combustion.
About 21 million tones of Rice Husk Ash (RHA) is produced annually. This RHA is regarded as a waste
and has disposal problem because of the fact that it consumes a vast area for dumping. Lots of ways are
being thought of for disposing them by making commercial use of this RHA. RHA can be used as a
replacement for concrete (5 to 15%).This paper evaluates how different contents of Rice Husk Ash
added to concrete may influence its properties. In this study, cement was replaced by waste RHA as
5%,10% and 15% by weight for M-25 mix. The concrete specimens were tested for compressive
strength, durability (water absorption) and density at 28 days of age and the results obtained were
compared with those of normal concrete. The results concluded the permissibility of using waste RHA
as partial replacement of cement up to 10% by weight of cement
This paper presents the findings of an investigation on the compressive strength of concrete containing
Groundnut Husk Ash (GHA) blended with Rice Husk Ash (RHA) and its resistance to acid aggression, as well
as regression models of the concrete resistance in acidic environment. The GHA and RHA used were obtained
by controlled burning of groundnut husk and rice husk, respectively in a kiln to a temperature of 600 oC, and
after allowing cooling, sieved through sieve 75 µm and characterized. The compressive strength of GHA-RHAConcrete
was investigated at replacement levels of 0, 10, 20, 30 and 40 %, respectively by weight of cement. A
total of seventy five 150 mm cubes of GHA-RHA-Concrete grade 20 were tested for compressive strength at 3,
7, 28, 60 and 90 days of curing. Also, thirty 100 mm cubes were exposed to attack from 10 % concentration of
diluted solution of sulphuric acid (H2SO4) and nitric acid (HNO3), respectively and the concrete resistance was
also modeled using Minitab statistical software to establish regression models. The result of the investigations
showed that the compressive strength of the concrete decreased with increase in GHA-RHA content. However
15 % replacement with GHA-RHA was considered as optimum for structural concrete. The use of GHA
admixed with 10 % RHA in concrete improved its resistance against sulphuric and nitric acids aggression. The
average weight loss of GHA-RHA- concrete after 28 days of exposure in sulphuric acid and nitric acid were
11.6 % and 11.7 %, respectively as opposed to 22.4 % and 15.1 %, respectively for plain Portland cement
concrete. The regression models of GHA-RHA-Concrete for resistance against sulphuric and nitric acids were
developed with R2
values of 0.668 and 0.655, respectively and were adequate for prediction of the sensitivities
of pozzolanic activity of GHA-RHA in acidic environment.

CHARACTERIZATION & DURABILITY PROPERTIES OF ULTRAFINE FLY ASH BASED GEOPOLYME...Journal For Research
Huge scale generation of cement is creating environmental issue on one hand and depletion of natural resources on the other hand. This danger to nature has prompted research being made of industrial byproducts as supplementary cementetious materials in making concrete for more green and durable. Fly ash and silica fume both are pozzolanic materials which have been broadly utilized for improving the properties like strength and durability in concrete. Silica fume demonstrates the greater pozzolanic activity then fly ash because of its finer particle size distribution, the pozzolanic activity of fly ash also can be enhanced by decreasing the particle size distribution. Geopolymer is a class of aluminosilicate binding materials integrated by thermal action of solid aluminosilicate based materials such as metakoaline, GGBFS, fly ash. Geopolymer get activated with the alkaline solution and heat. Sodium hydroxide and sodium silicate were utilized as an alkaline solution with a steady ratio of 2.5 and the mix is designed for molarity 10 for the work carried out. In the present study, an attempt has been made to explore the geopolymer concrete by utilizing ultrafine fly ash (UFFA) produced by air classification and processed GGBFS with varied proportions. Discusses on the properties of geopolymer concrete has also been mentioned. Compressive strength and durability tests like Permeability, Abrasion, Sorptivity, Acid and sulphate attack, Drying shrinkage were conducted. In this work geopolymer concrete was prepared with varying proportions of GGBS and UFFA in the ratio of 92.5:7.5 and 88:12 and 80:20. The maximum strength was achieved for the ratio 92.5:7.5. The obtained compressive strength is in the range of 36.5MPa to 91.6MPa from 1st day to 28th day of hot curing.

Performance of alkaline solutions on grades of geopolymer concreteeSAT Journals
Abstract Geopolymer is a class of aluminosilicate binding materials synthesized by thermal activation of solid aluminosilicate base materials such as fly ash, metakaolin, GGBS etc., with an alkali metal hydroxide and silicate solution. The geopolymer was activated with sodium hydroxide, sodium silicate and heat. This paper presents the experimental investigation done on the variation of alkaline solution on mechanical properties of geopolymer concrete. The grades chosen for the investigation were M-30, M-40, M-50 and M-60, the mixes were designed for 8 molarity. The alkaline solution used for present study was the combination of sodium silicate and sodium hydroxide solution with the varying ratio of 2, 2.50, 3 and 3.50. The test specimens were 150x150x150 mm cubes and 100x200 mm cylinders heat-cured at 60°C in an oven. The results revealed that the workable flow of geopolymer concrete was in the range of 85 to 145 and was dependent on the ratio by mass of sodium silicate and sodium hydroxide solution. The freshly prepared geopolymer mixes were cohesive and their workability increased with the increase in the ratio of alkaline solution. The strength of geopolymer concrete can be improved by decreasing the water/binding and aggregate/binding ratios. The curing period improves the polymerization process resulting in higher compressive strength. The geopolymer concrete do not have any Portland cement, they can be considered as less energy interactive. It utilizes the industrial wastes such as fly ash for producing the binding system in concrete. The obtained compressive strength and split tensile strength were in the range of 20.64 – 60 N/mm2 and 3 – 4.9 N/mm2. The optimum dosage for alkaline solution can be considered as 2.5, because for this ratio the GPC specimens of any grade produced maximum strength in compression and tension.

has the potential to reduce globally the carbon emission that lead
to a sustainable development and growth of the concrete
industry. In this study, geo-polymer concrete is prepared by
incorporating ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBS) and
black rice husk ash (BRHA) as source materials. In India RHA is
used for cattle feeding, partition board manufacturing, land
filling, etc. RHA is either white or black in colour. If the rice
husk is burnt in controlled temperature and duration, it will
result the ash in white colour. This type of RHA has high
percentage of silica content. The ease availability of RHA is black
in colour due to uncontrolled burning temperature and duration
in various rice mills, so the resulting rice husk ash is called as
black rice husk ash (BRHA).
In this study GGBS used as a base material for geopolymer
concrete and it is replaced upto 30% by BRHA. The strength
characteristic of GGBS and BRHA based geopolymer concrete
has been studied. The suitable compressive strength test is
performed. The result shows that the replacement of BRHA
decreases the compressive strength of geopolymer concrete,
because of the unburnt carbon content present in the BRHA.

INTRODUCTION
Concrete is the second most used material in the world after
water. Ordinary Portland cement has been used traditionally
as a binding material for preparation of concrete. One tone of
carbon dioxide is estimated to be released to the atmosphere
when one ton of ordinary Portland cement is manufactured.
Also the emission by cement manufacturing process
contributes 7% to the global carbon dioxide emission. It is
important to find an alternate binder which has less CO2
emission than cement. Geopolymer is an excellent alternative
which transform industrial waste products like flyash, GGBS
and rice husk ash into binder for concrete. Al- Si materials
which are used as source materials undergoes dissolutions, gel
formation, setting and hardening stages to form geopolymers.
There are two main constituents of geo-polymers, namely the
source materials and the alkaline liquids. The source materials
for geo-polymers based on alumina-silicate should be rich in
silicon (Si) and aluminium (Al). These could be natural
minerals such as kaolinite, clays, etc. Alternatively, by-
product materials such as fly ash, silica fume, slag, rice-husk
ash, red mud, etc could be used as source materials. The
choice of the source materials for making geo-polymers
depends on factors such as availability, cost, type of
application, and specific demand of the end users. The
alkaline liquids are from soluble alkali metals that are usually
sodium or potassium based. The most common alkaline
liquids used in geo-polymerization are a combination of
sodium hydroxide (NaOH) or potassium hydroxide (KOH)
and sodium silicate (Na2SiO3) or potassium silicate (K2SiO3).
The alumino silicate material which is to be used in this study
is a combination of Rice husk ash and ground granulated blast
furnace slag (GGBS). RHA is either white or black in color. If
the rice husk is burnt in controlled temperature and duration, it
will result the ash in white color. This type of RHA has high
percentage of silica content. The ease availability of RHA is
black in color due to uncontrolled burning temperature and
duration in various rice mills, so the black color rice husk ash
is called as black rice husk ash (BRHA). The RHA used in
this study was black rice husk ash. This study aims to
synthesize geopolymer concrete using combination of GGBS
and BRHA. In this study GGBS used as a base material for
geoploymer concrete. GGBS is replaced up to 30% by BRHA
to understand the strength and durability characteristics.
MATERIALS
The materials used for making GGBS based geopolymer
concrete specimens are GGBS, Rice Husk Ash, aggregates,
alkaline liquids, water and super plasticizer. Ground
Granulated Blast furnace Slag was procured from JSW
cements in Bellari, Karnataka. Black Rice Husk Ash was
obtained from a Rice mill near Karaikudi and then it was
finely grounded. The properties of GGBS and BRHA are
given in Table I.

B. Alkaline solution
A mixture of Sodium hydroxide and Sodium Silicate was used
as the alkaline solution in the present study. Commercial
grade Sodium Hydroxide in pellets form (97%-100% purity)
and Sodium silicate solution having 7.5%-8.5% of Na2O and
25% -28% and water of 67.5%- 63.5% were used in the
present study. The ratio of Sodium Silicate to Sodium
Hydroxide was kept as 2.5. In this study the compressive
strength of geo-polymer concrete is examined for the mix of
8M of NaOH solution. The molecular weight of NaOH is 40.
For example to prepare 8M of NaOH solution 320g of NaOH
flakes are weighed and they can be dissolved in distilled water
to form 1 litre solution. For this, volumetric flask of 1 litre
capacity is taken, NaOH flakes are added slowly to distilled
water to prepare 1litre solution.
In order to improve the workability of fresh concrete, high-
range water-reducing naphthalene based super plasticizer was
used. Extra water nearly 15% of binder is added to increase
the workability of the concrete.
METHODOLOGY
C. Mixing, Casting and Curing
The mix proportions were taken as given in Table. III. As
there are no code provisions for the mix design of geopolymer
concrete, the density of geo-polymer concrete was assumed as
2400 Kg/m3
and other calculations were done based on the
density of concrete [4]. The combined total volume occupied
by the coarse and fine aggregates was assumed to be 77%.
The alkaline liquid to binder ratio was taken as 0.40. GGBS
was kept as the primary binder in which BRHA was replaced
in 0, 10, 20 and 30% by weight. The normal mixing procedure
was adopted. First, the fine aggregate, coarse aggregate and
GGBS & BRHA were mixed in dry condition for 3-4 minutes
and then the alkaline solution which is a combination of
Sodium hydroxide and Sodium silicate solution with super-
plasticizer was added to the dry mix. Then some extra water
about 15% by weight of the binder was added to improve the
workability. The mixing was continued for about 6-8 minutes.
After the mixing, the concrete was placed in cube moulds of
size 150mm X 150mm X 150mm by giving proper
compaction. The GPC specimens were then placed in a hot air
oven at a temperature of 60o
C for 48 hours and then the
specimens were taken out and cured under room temperature
till the time of testing.The cubes were then tested at 3, 7 and
28 days from the day of casting.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
The cubes were tested in the compressive testing machine to
determine their compressive strength at the age of 3, 7 and 28
days from the day of casting. The Table IV and figure 1 shows
the compressive strength variation with percentage
replacement of BRHA. The table4 shows that GGBS based
geopolymer concrete attained compressive strength of 69
MPa. 10 % replacement of GGBS by RHA gives compressive
strength of 58 MPa.
The figure1 shows that there is an increase in compressive
strength if the curing time increases. The percentage of
increase in strength is approximately 16 to 20 for the curing
time of 3days to 28days. The percentage increase in strength
from 3 to 28 days curing time is approximately 24% for mix1.
The graph shows that the replacement of BRHA in GGBS
based geopolymer concrete decreases the compressive
strength. Because of the unburnt carbon content present in
BRHA, decreases the compressive strength. The average 28
days compressive strength of mix2 and mix3 is decreases by
20% and 46% compared to mix1.

CONCLUSIONS
From the limited experimental study conducted on the
geopolymer concrete made with GGBS and BRHA, the
following conclusions are made.
1. The GGBS based geopolymer concrte gives higher
strength.
2. The replacement of GGBS by BRHA decreases the
compressive strength because of the unburnt carbon
content.
3. The percentage replacement of BRHA in GGBS based
geo-polymer concrete is significant only in 10%.
4. Due to the presence of high silica content in BRHA
(94%) there is a fast chemical reaction occurred resulting
quick setting of geo-polymer concrete.
5. In this study, the Si / Al ratio is not maintained due to low
alumina content in the source materials resulting in lesser
compressive strength .
6. I feel that GGBS with 10% of RHA will be well and eco
friendly when compared with OPC
