Geopolymer concrete is prepared by reacting silicate as well as aluminate consisting materials with a caustic activator. More often, waste materials such as GGBS, fly ash, slag from metal and iron production are used. Recent investigations adding new materials like Alccofine, which improves the properties of geopolymer concrete even at ambient temperature condition. This research paper presents a details literature survey on the durability properties of geopolymer concrete. Various research literatures are previewed on durability of geopolymer concrete with the addition of different supplementary cementious materials as their necessity is increasing due to insistent constituents. Past studies from the literature reviews suggested that replacement of cement with chemical and mineral admixtures enhanced the properties of strength and durability of concrete. The micro structures, Morphological structures by SEM, lower shrinkage, higher mechanical strengths, superior durability with environmental sustainability are observed. XRD studies shown enhanced polymerisation reaction which is responsible for development of strength. Elevated temperatures and Surface deterioration are controlled in GPC than OPC. Geopolymer concrete provides better resistance for specimens to chemical attack and also water absorption, sorptivity, porosity have good influence to the durability properties in ambient curing conditions compared to conventional concrete.

Abstract Efforts over the past few years for improving the performance of concrete suggest that cement replacement with mineral admixtures can enhance the strength and durability of concrete. Feasibility of producing good quality concrete by using alccofine and fly ash replacements is investigated and also the potential benefits from their incorporation were looked into. In this study, an attempt has been made to assess the performance of concrete in severe marine conditions exposed upto a period of 150 days. This work investigates the influence of alccofine and fly ash as partial replacement of cement in various percentages (Alccofine - 5% replacement to cement content) and (fly ash - 0%, 15%, 30%, 50% & 60% to total cementitious content) on mechanical and durability properties (Permit ion permeability test and corrosion current density) of concrete. Usage of alccofine and high quantity of fly ash as additional cementitious materials in concrete has resulted in higher workability of concrete. Inclusion of alccofine shows an early strength gaining property whereas fly ash results in gaining strength at later stage. Concrete mixes containing 5% alccofine with 15% fly ash replacement reported greater compressive strength than the other concrete mixes cured in both curing conditions. Durability test conducted at 56 and 150 days indicated that concrete containing higher percentages of fly ash resulted in lower permeability as well lesser corrosion density.

Paper Mineral admixtures being the economical alternatives to Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) for various normal and special concretes induce desirable properties to concrete such as higher flow, low heat of hydration, higher strength gain and enhanced durability. Ground granulated blast furnace slag(GGBFS) being one of the largely used mineral admixture alongside Fly Ash as supplementary cementitious material in concrete contributes to enhanced durability properties and low heat of hydration. Various replacement percentages of GGBS at 30%, 40%, 50% and 60% are used in binary blended Self compacting concrete(SCC) in the present study. At 40% replacement level, SCC exhibited improved workability, strength and durability properties. Alccofine(Ultrafine GGBS) used in ternary blended SCC enhanced early strength gain without affecting workability of SCC to a significant extent.

Coconut Fibers

Coconut fiber was used in coconut shell concrete (CSC) and its durability properties were studied. The properties include: water absorption, volume of permeable pore voids, rapid chloride penetration test, sorptivity and resistance at elevated temperature. For comparison purpose, these properties were also studied on conventional concrete (CC) with coconut fibers. Three different curing conditions viz. full water immersion, site curing and air-dry conditions were employed except for temperature resistance study in which only full water immersion was used. Test results show that the durability properties were better in full water immersion condition in case of CC mixes and in site curing condition in case of CSC mixes. Temperature resistance tests gave a minimum guarantee of both CC and CSC mixes without and with coconut fibers for 2 h resistance and hence they were deemed safe for construction.

Strength And Durability

The use of abundantly available wastes such as Fly ash and ceramic powder in construction industry in the form of geopolymer concrete turns out to be the search of a very promising building material for a sustainable future[15].This study has been undertaken to investigate the strength and durability properties of geopolymer concrete by adding ceramic powder in different percentage as source material in addition with flyash[16]. All investigations are mainly focused towards geopolymer concrete mainly with flyash as source material. In this study, ceramic waste powder is added since it is also one of the major waste material as flyash. Nowadays, almost all the construction are carried out with ceramic products which results with more ceramic waste powder. Thus this work focused to utilize this waste powder into geopolymer concrete. Characteristic strength and primary durability properties are carried out by adding ceramic powder with 50%,40% and30% with fly ash. Thus this paper focuses on varying the proportions of fly ash and ceramic waste powder (50:50, 60:40, 70:30) in geopolymer concrete incorporating with polypropylene fibres in percentage of 0.5%,0.75% and 1% in volume of concrete to evaluate its strength and durability characteristics. The alkaline activator solution used is a mixture of 10 molar Sodium hydroxide and Sodium silicate in the ratio 1:3. Ambient curing condition is applied for the specimens. M-Sand is used instead of fine aggregate, since many literature reveals addition of M-Sand gains more strength in geopolymer Concrete.

Strength And Durability

Self-Compacting Concrete (SCC) or Self Consolidating Concrete is the present-day concrete that is being adopted the world over. The production of SCC involves the selection of appropriate materials and good quality control which is essential for the durability of concrete. The mineral admixtures and filler materials provide additional reduction to the porosity of the concrete. The primary objective of the present research work is to carry out the experimental investigations on durability properties of SCC with 20 different mix proportions, containing various percentages of filler materials like Limestone Powder (LP) and Marble Powder (MP), along with the mineral admixtures like Fly ash (F) and Silica Fume (SF). Experimental investigation on the durability properties for all the 20 mixes of SCC was carried out by conducting the Rapid Chloride Penetration Test (RCPT), Saturated Water Absorption Test, Acid Resistance Test, Sulphate Resistance Test, Water Permeability Test and Salt Water Resistance Test. From the experimental study, it is observed that the SCC mix with equal proportions F (10%), SF (10%), LP (10%) and MP (10%), exhibit better performance than the control mix in terms of strength and durability characteristics and thus it is concluded that the addition of mineral admixtures and filler materials have a pivotal role in the development of strength and durability aspects of SCC.

Geopolymer concrete can resist fire quite well when compared with conventional concrete. Recent studies to observe the behaviour of geopolymer composite column under the effect of fire are very few. In this paper results in terms of stress, strain and deformation of geopolymer composite column expressed to elevated temperature are presented. It was observed that geopolymer composite column performs better at elevated temperatures than the conventional composite column. This tests are performed with four composite column with geopolymer concrete and conventional concrete which is tested at four elevated temperatures i.e., 400 oC, 500 oC, 600 oC, 700 oC and 800 oC to evaluate the strength parameters. It results geopolymer concrete column can be used where fire disaster chances are high.
