2. Introduction
 Geopolymer concrete is an innovative and eco-friendly
construction material.
 It is used as alternative material for cement concrete.
 In geopolymer concrete cement is not used as a
binding material.
 In spite of cement we use flyash,GGBS as a binders.

3. What’s wrong with cement
 Portland cement is a major contributor to CO2
emission.
for example,
Production of one ton of OPC
emits one ton of CO2.
 These will leads to global warming.

4. Why geopolymer concrete
 Geopolymer concrete has potential to reduce CO2
emission.
 It use waste products such as flyash,GGBS as binders.
 Setting mechanism
is depends on
polymerization.
 Produce more
durable
infrastructure.

OF
GEOPOLYMER
CONCRETE”

6. Materials required
1.Flyash 2.Fine aggregates 3.coarse aggregates
4.Alkaline liquids

7. Preparation

8. Process
 Aggregates and fly ash are mixed with proper
intimation.
 And then alkaline activator solution is added to
dissolve Si and Al atoms in source materials.
 By this process aggregates and fly ash get bonded.
 And then finally we get geopolymer concrete.

9. Properties
 Non toxic.
 Sets at room temperature.
 High compressive strength.
 High bonding strength.
 Chemical resistance.
 Highly resistance to heat.

10. Advantages
 Reduces CO2 emission.
 Usage of waste products.
 Durability is good.
 Fire proof.
 Corrosion resistance.
 Economically sustainable.

11. Disadvantages
 It requires special handling.
 Process is faster.
 It is sensitive.
How over come the disadvantages
 Reduce the carelessness.
 Give extra effect.
 Proper intimation

12. OPC vs GPC
 The compressive strength of GPC is 1.5 times more
than that of OPC.
 Weight of GPC is half of the weight of OPC.
 Bonding strength of GPC is 4 times than that of OPC.

13. Application
 Concrete pipes and bricks.
 Water tanks.

14.  Retaining walls.
 Precast concrete products and also as building
material.
