Effect on Properties of Geopolymer Concrete after Addition of GGBS & Glass Powder

The present study aims at adopting ambient curing for developing geopolymer concrete so as to make this concrete feasible for mass applications. Keeping up with ambient curing the addition of GGBS in percentages of 15%, 20%,25% & Glass Powder in percentages of 5%,10%,15% has been done so as to bypass the need for carrying out oven curing. In addition to this the study aims at gauging the effect of different molarities i.e 4M, 8M &12M on the mixes prepared& in turn deciding the optimum molar concentration for preparation of the mixes. To develop this geopolymer concrete according to our objectives some of the past literature has been reviewed to understand its reaction mechanism and accordingly select the proportion of materials for carrying out experimental work. To study the effectiveness of ambient curing over oven curing a total of 150 no samples have been prepared out of which 15 no comprise the control mix. The mix proportions of the geopolymer concrete samples prepared in this study have been adopted on a trial and error basis due to non availability of IS codes for design mix.
