Abstract

Modern day construction activities are not proved to be enviro-friendly and most of the building materials we use for the construction purpose consumes lot of natural resources and have huge carbon foot print. Innovations in civil engineering industry is also taking place apart from usage of regular materials, once such innovative material that has potential to reduce the carbon foot print is Geopolymer. In our country the research in Geopolymer concrete is rapidly picking up and many materials were tested as impregnation for Geopolymer concrete. This study is an attempt made by authors to test the NDT study based strength of Geopolymer concrete with and without addition of various natural fibers. It is found in the study that impregnation of various fibers in Geopolymer adds more strength to the concrete and also increases the density of concrete.
