  Development and Performance Evaluation of Polymer-Modified Geopolymer Composites Incorporating GGBS

  By Mayuri Patil, Amit Kumar Ahirwar

  Abstract: This research investigates the development and performance of geopolymer-based composite materials formulated using Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag (GGBS) as a reactive mineral component within an aluminosilicate polymer matrix. The study aims to create an eco-efficient and structurally sound inorganic polymer composite comparable to M35-grade concrete, produced entirely under ambient curing conditions. A series of mixes with varying GGBS replacement ratios (0–100%) was prepared, maintaining a constant binder content of …

  Mix Proportioning of Biochar as a Partial Replacement of Cement Using Alkaline Activators in Concrete Composite

  By B. Vamsi Krishna, P. Venu Gopal, Ashok Kumar Suluguru

  Abstract: The growth of the world population has led to a heightened need for housing, making construction a crucial sector. Cement, a critical element in concrete mixtures, is indispensable in construction activities. Yet, the diminishing reserves of natural resources such as limestone and rocks, essential for cement manufacturing, necessitate sustainable options. This research investigates the creation of sustainable concrete blends by incorporating biochar and ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBS), activated …
