Investigation on Mechanical Properties of Geo Polymer Concrete With Fly Ash and Steel Fibers
Abstract: The goal of this project was to manufacture fly ash-based geopolymer concrete (FAC), a more environmentally friendly substitute for conventional Portland cement concrete (OPC) by using fly ash (FA) in place of cement. The study discovered that the properties of FAC were comparable to those of OPC, and that the concrete's performance was greatly impacted by the geopolymer's polymeric nature. The geopolymerization process was started with an alkaline solution, and …

Experimental Study on Replacement of Cement and Fine Aggregate with Marble Dust and Copper Slag
Abstract: With the ever-growing challenge of managing escalating waste materials globally, this paper explores sustainable solutions in construction through the utilization of marble dust and copper slag. The rapid generation of waste poses severe environmental and health threats, necessitating innovative strategies for responsible waste management. Local availability and the potential to enhance concrete strength make marble dust and copper slag attractive candidates for the partial replacement of cement and fine aggregate. …
