This study investigates the behavior of in-filled materials of profiled steel sheeting dry board (PSSDB) floor system. Two tests were conducted, namely, push-out test to know the connection stiffness and bending test on the PSSDB panel under the influence of different in-filled materials. Result of the push-out test shows that the connection stiffness of the geopolymer concrete-filled PSSDB is 331% higher than that of PSSDB that is filled with normal concrete. This connection stiffness contributed to the reduction of deflection value of 21% in the middle of the midspan for full-board geopolymer concrete in-filled panel bending test. This phenomenon triggered the increase of interaction within the composite system, making the panel that is filled with the geopolymer concrete 25% stronger than the normal concrete–filled panel.


Conventionally used cement –a primary binder also a necessitate element in producing concrete rates first in the construction industry. Production of conventional cement requires a greater skill and is energy intensive. The usage of waste materials in the production of concrete and reduction in cement content was only the possible alternative in the past decade. Associated risks with the production of Ordinary Portland Cement are well known. A greener aided with a natural friendly claim can be made only with the usage of the waste materials and reduction in evolving respiration gas to the atmosphere. Almost all works are carried out using source material fly ash, with fine aggregate and coarse aggregate. Concrete plays a vital role in the construction industry and on the other hand, river sand; one of the essential material has become very expensive which is a scarce material. Depletion of sand is a hectic issue due to increased usage of sand in construction. No other replacement materials such as quarry rock dust is not concentrated in casting geopolymer specimens. Even though in some research papers the replacement materials are added only in partial replacement without aiming on 100% replacement. Many researches mainly focus towards test results of GPC specimens using steel fibers, glass fibers. But the study related to natural fibers and hybrid fibers are found scarce. The main part of this work aimed at characterizing the engineering strength properties of geopolymer concrete by 100% replacement of fine aggregate with quarry rock dust. Hence, combination of flyash and quarry rock dust in GPC have been considered for evaluating the mechanical properties of geopolymer concrete. Also, investigation focuses on incorporation of three different fibers namely polypropylene fibers(PF), coir fibers(CF) and hybrid fibers(HF) in different percentage of proportions such as 0.5%,1%,and 1.5% to determine the maximum strength properties of GPC.

This study examines the punching shear and deflection performance of 16 Geopolymer concrete (GC) two-way slabs subjected to monotonic and cyclic loading by considering the reinforcement material, percentage of reinforcement, type of concrete and the concrete grade. The tested specimens indicated that the crack patterns at the failure and failure modes were almost similar regardless of the type of reinforcement or their ratio. Moreover, the slabs reinforced by fibre-reinforced polymer (FRP) bars exhibited a lower punching capacity than those strengthened by steel bars, even for similar reinforcement ratios. In addition, the results showed that upon increasing the concrete strength and reinforcement ratio, a higher punching shear capacity and lower deflections were obtained under cyclic and monotonic loading. In addition, the punching shear performance of GC slabs was found to be better than that of ordinary concrete (OC), even though both were reinforced by the basalt FRP (BFRP) bar. However, the ultimate load capacity of the slabs was reduced as a result of cyclic loading according to the capacity of the same specimen, resulting from static loading. However, the reduction is very low for slabs reinforced with FRP slabs. Further, the slabs reinforced by FRP had a better fatigue performance compared with slabs reinforced by steel bars with respect to cyclic loading. The results of the tests were also used to evaluate the accuracy of the available punching shear capacity equations.

Geopolymer concrete (GPC) is the most advanced form of concrete amongst the various types of concrete developed so far. This paper aims at investigating the feasibility of using Ground Granulated Blast furnace Slag (GGBS) as a base material for geopolymer concrete. Effect of dolomite, which is a by-product from rock crushing plant on GGBS based GPC, was studied. Maximum compressive strength was obtained when GGBS and dolomite were proportioned at 70:30. Steel fibres were added to geopolymer concrete (SFGPC) to improve the ductile behaviour and its brittleness index was compared with Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) concrete. Strength and behaviour of GGBS-Dolomite GPC and SFGPC flexural member subjected to cyclic loading are explained in this paper. Steel fibres are added at 0.25%, 0.5% and 0.75% volume fraction of concrete. Properties such as load deflection behaviour, ultimate load, crack width and ductility were compared with OPC concrete beams.
