Abstract
Self-compacting geopolymer concrete (SCGC) is a novel material. and a modern high-performance concrete that doesn’t require Ordinary Portland cement and additional compaction. SCGC is made up of industrial byproducts, with high Alumina and Silica composition, and uses super plasticizer as a binder for matrix formation and strength. This research examines SCGC, which is prepared with various percentages of Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag (GGBFS), Silica Fume (SF) and Metakaolin (MK), activated with various molarities of alkaline solution containing sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and sodium silicate (Na2SiO3). Fresh and hardened characteristics along with microstructural studies are discussed. The beams are analysed using ANSYS software.
