Detailed Overview of Geo-Polymer Concrete Fabrication Using RHA, GGBS and CRUMB RUBBER

Civil Engineering

Geo-polymer concrete is building materials that become popular in the past few years due to its significance that is eco-friendly or environment friendly. Geo-polymer concrete has significant advantages than standard concrete (PCC) are more long-lasting, requires little repair, saving a huge amount of money spent on repairing and maintaining of concrete based infrastructure, more resistive to corrosion and high compressive and tensile strength, it gains its full strength quickly and shrinks less than PCC. Geo-polymer concrete increases the life of structures up-to 10 years as compared to plain cement concrete. There are two main ingredients of geo-polymer concrete are source material and alkaline liquids. The source materials are those which have an alumina silicate should be rich in silicon (Si) and aluminum (Al). The alkaline liquids are soluble alkali metals that are sodium or potassium-based. This review deals use rice husk ash (RHA), crumb rubber (CR), and ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBS) in the formation of geo-polymer concrete. RHA, CR, and GGBS all are the waste products, and difficult to dispose of, the use of all these waste will clear the environment. It also includes chemical composition, their properties, advantages and limitations of source materials.
