Studies on workability, microstructural and hardened strength properties on self-compacted geopolymer concrete subjected to ambient curing.

Due to the enormous increase in the development of infrastructure in a very short span, there is an urge in the need of cement that is commonly used as a binder in the construction industry. This research work carries out the formation of self-compacted geopolymer concrete with the help of alkali activators that are used for curing under ambient curing. Durability, mechanical properties and microstructural analysis of ten different types of mixes of concrete with different combinations of fly ash, micro fly ash and slag were studied in detail. The formed mixes do not have any cement content and superplasticizers when tested are found to attain compressive strength of about 45 MPa at 28 days when compared to the normal concrete.
