Properties of Glass Fibre Reinforced Geopolymer Concrete
Journal Title: International Journal of Modern Engineering Research (IJMER) - Year 2013, Vol 3, Issue 4
Abstract
This paper presents results of an experimental program to determine mechanical properties of Glass fibre reinforced Geopolymer Concrete which contains fly ash, alkaline liquids, fine & course aggregates & glass fibres. The effects of inclusion of glass fibers on density, compressive strength & flexural strength of hardened geopolymer concrete composite (GPCC) was studied. Alkaline liquids to fly ash ratio were fixed as 0.35 with 100% replacement of ordinary Portland cement by fly ash. For alkaline liquid combination ratio of Sodium hydroxide solution to Sodium silicate solution was fixed as 1.00. Glass fibers were added to the mix in 0.01%, 0.02%, 0.03% & 0.04% by volume of concrete. Based on the test results it was observed that the glass fibers reinforced geopolymer concrete have relatively higher strength in short curing time (3 days) than geopolymer concrete & Ordinary Portland cement concrete.
