GEOPOLYMER CONCRETE BY LITHIUM BASED GLASS WASTE WITH FLY ASH

Abstract

Abstract

The cement, fly ash, and slag used in this study are local materials in compliance. The global warming is the major issue when limestone and clays are crushed and heated to high temperatures. We are using waste materials, its components, or its production process that does not cause any environmental problems, or it has high performance and life cycle sustainability. The waste material used in this research is three times washed glass waste contains lithium content for maximum compressive strength, able to pass through a sieve of IS 0.075 mm was provided by AGI glaspac industry, Hyderabad, India, and combined with fly ash which has good strength properties and replaces the cement and reduces cost. In this experimental method of research the water-to-binder ratios were 0.21, 0.36, and 0.4. The four different quantities of glass sand were added on volume basis namely 0% and 10%. Fly ash, water-quenched slag and plasticizer were added and blended by means of a simple self compacting concrete mixing design method. It has been observed that the compressive strength obtained from oven curing has shown the maximum strength of 23.7 Mpa than the normal concrete.
