Research Results- GeoPolymer Concrete

by Mehan on October 9, 2009

Concrete is the most civil construction material that makes best foundations, architectural structures, bridges, roads, block walls, fences and poles. This is one of the man-made materials in the world. Production of Portland cement is used for general purposes and it creates about 5-8 percent of human CO2 emissions. Moreover, Concrete has high compressive strength and low tensile strength.

Geo polymer concrete is an essential class of cement materials that forms “fly ash”. It has the potential to substantially curb CO2 emissions and more durable infrasture used for disposal of coal combustion products and protect surface bodies. This is a 5,000 lb. geopolymer concrete block cast using fly ash,

The potential of geo polymer concrete technology mainly helps to satisfy the future energy needs. The main feature of the Geo Polymer Concrete (GPC) is,

• Large Compressive and Tensile Strength
• Greater Corrosion Resistance
• Rapidly Strength Gain
• Higher Fire Resistance (up to 2400°F)
• Lower Shrinkage.

The Geo Polymer concrete innovation program conducted by Dr. Erez Allouche, Assistant Professor of Civil Engineering at Louisiana Tech University and Associate Director of the Trenchless Technology.
