In the present study, appropriate analytic stress-strain mathematical model is developed that can capture the real (observable) stress-strain behaviour of geo polymer concrete. The geo polymer concrete mixes have shown improved stress values for the same strain levels compared to that of controlled concrete mix in M20 grade. The analytical equations for the stress-strain response of conventional and geopolymer concrete mixes have been proposed in the form of y = Ax / (1+Bx+Cx2), both for ascending and descending portions of the curves with different set of values for constants. The proposed equations have shown good correlation with experimental values. The proposed empirical equations can be used as stress block in analyzing the flexural behavior of sections of controlled and geo polymer concrete. The stress-strain curves obtained in the experiment for M20 & G20 grades of controlled and geo polymer concrete exhibit a similar trend when compared to the empirical equations of modified Saenz model. So Saenz mathematical model is successfully evaluated and validated for geopolymer concrete.

In this paper, a mathematical model for predicting the stress –strain and moment curvature relations in concrete is developed. A good number of empirical equations were proposed to represent stress-strain behaviour of conventional concrete. Most of the equations can be used for the ascending portion of the curve only. In 1997 Mansur et al. have adopted Carriera and Chu (1985) model, which was based on the model proposed by Popovics (1973). As such, model proposed by Mansur et al includes both ascending and descending portions of the stress-strain curve for the confined concrete with introduction of two constants for the descending portion of the curve. Several researchers proposed various empirical equations for stress-strain behaviour as briefly reported in the previous chapter. An attempt has been made in this study to develop mathematical models for concrete in unconfined state. These analytical equations can be applied to any concrete with slight modifications. These models are developed to validate the experimental values obtained.

The focus of the study was to identify the stress strain behavior of geo polymer concrete and salient parameters that influence the mixture proportions and the properties of low calcium fly ash- based geo polymers concrete. To develop geopolymer concrete the chemical proportions are alkaline liquid solution/fly-ash ratio=0.5, Sodium silicate/sodium hydroxide ratio=2.5,16M NaOH and SiO2/Na2O ratio=2.0. The geopolymer concrete mixes have shown improved stress values for the same strain levels compared to that of controlled concrete mix. Normalized stress strain curves are used to compare the behaviours of geopolymer concrete. It can be observed that geopolymer concrete has improved strains for the same stress when compared to conventional concrete. Geopolymer concrete mixes have shown improved stress values for the same strain levels compared to that of controlled concrete mixes.

AbstractThis paper focuses on the mechanical properties and modulus of elasticity of fly ash and GGBS based geopolymer concrete. In this study an 8 molarity concentration of NaOH and alkaline liquid ratio in a ratio of 2.5 was used. This study includes the stress-strain behaviour along with the flexural strength, compressive strength and split tensile strengths for the GPC20, GPC40 and GPC60 grades. Tests were carried out on 150 mm × 150 mm × 150 mm cubes and 100 × 100 × 500 mm prisms and 150 × 300 mm cylindrical geopolymer concrete specimens. The test results not- ed the good mechanical properties and measured stress-strain relations of fly ash and GGBS based geopolymer concrete under ambient curing conditions. The elastic modulus was significantly varied with increases in the grade of the concrete. An equation was proposed to determine the modulus of elasticity based on the compressive strength of the geopolymer concrete.

AbstractThe recent technology of geopolymer concrete is a substitute material for ordinary portland cement concrete which is produced from the polycondensation reaction of aluminosilicate materials with alkaline activator solutions. The cost of river sand is high since the demand for the same is also high. Manufactured sand is used as a replacement material for river sand in geopolymer concrete. This paper mainly focuses to find the properties of fly ash (FA) – based geopolymer concrete under ambient cured temperature like compressive strength, stress strain behaviour, modulus of elasticity, Poission’s ratio and impact resistance. The result of geopolymer concrete is compared with ordinary portland cement concrete. The elasticity modulus and Poission’s ratio of geopolymer concrete are lower than conventional concrete. The Stress-strain behaviour of geopolymer concrete is similar to conventional concrete. The impact resistance of geopolymer concrete is very good when compared with conventional concrete.

The European laws and recently the Romanian ones impose more and more strict norms to the large nitrogen dioxide polluters. They are obligated to continuously improve the installations and products so that they limit and reduce the nitrogen dioxide pollution, because it has negative effects on the human health and environment. In this paper are presented these researches made within a case study for the Timi�oara municipality, regarding the modeling and simulation of the nitrogen dioxide dispersion phenomenon coming from various sources in atmosphere with the help of analytical-experimental methods. The mathematical model resulting from these researches is accurately enough to describe the real situation. This was confirmed by comparing the results obtained based on the model with real experimental values.
