Abstract

Geo polymer concrete is one of the emerging construction material as a substitute for conventional cement concrete as it eliminate the usage of OPC. It is said that production of 1 tonne of cement emits approximately 1 tonne of carbon dioxide into atmosphere. In order to minimize the liberation of carbon dioxide to air, alternative materials have to be used to replace the cement. Geopolymer concrete in one such material which replaces cement completely by waste materials such as ggbs, flyash etc which is also harmful to atmosphere.The size of slab panel is 1000mm x 1000m x 650mm. By using yield line theory, the moment of resistance and maximum deflection under flexural loading are calculated for the GPC slabs
