Experimental investigation on strength and durability of flyash GGBS based geopolymer concrete incorporating copperslag

Abstract

It is deemed necessary to focus on infrastructure towards inclusive and economic growth This could never be neglected. Infrastructure includes developing Highway Air Port Dock Harbor Railway bridges and fly over bridges These arrangements help for the people in traveling cargo transporting comfortable and express way from one place to another place which are immensely required Further the infrastructure facility supports conserving the art and cultural edifice, historical remains and necessitates inter-linking the places for visits It is observed and found a paramount duty of a government of a country to expand cities suiting to the population growth science technology development and to growing needs of the livelihood viz food newlineshelter dress and employment opportunities among people in the developing cities The basic ingredients of concrete are cement sand aggregates and water Cement form of one of the most essential parts of concrete Concrete is the most widely used construction material in the world with the current consumption of 1 m3 per person per year 1 The concrete industry is one of the major contributors to global warming due to the use of Ordinary Portland Cement OPC The carbon dioxide CO2 emissions from the production of OPC constitute approximately 5 to 7 of global anthropogenic emissions 2 3 Concrete is known as a significant contributor to the emission of newlinegreenhouse gases The cement industry is the second largest producer of greenhouse gases 4 newline newline
