Abstract
Geopolymer concrete (GPC) is being used to reduce cement manufacturing CO2 emissions. Bagasse ash, a byproduct of sugar cane burning, can be used to create GPC. The goal is to find the best bagasse ash-GGBS ratio for silica bricks. The tasks include mixing geopolymer concrete and evaluating its properties both while it is new and after it has hardened. By substituting 10% to 100% of the aggregate with bagasse ash, concrete workability and strength were examined. The main goal was to find the best bagasse ash-GGBS ratio for silica bricks with less GGBS. Aura mix super plasticizer was added to reduce the workability issues often seen during the manufacturing of GPC, and GGBS was used as a binder material. After 28 days of sun curing, bagasse ash concrete showed 30% higher ultimate, flexural, and split tensile strengths than plain and normal concrete. Further research is needed to understand GPC at high temperatures.
