Abstract
One of the main wastes produced by thermal power plants is fly ash. Early on, it had an issue with treatment and disposal. Researchers discovered a practical way to substitute fly ash for cement in calculated qualities. Currently, the replacement proportion has been rising. In this experiment, fly ash was used as the main binder instead of cement to evaluate the performance of concrete. Because it reduces carbon dioxide emissions more than high calcium fly ash, low calcium fly ash is favoured as a source material. In this project, the binders sodium hydroxide and sodium silicate solution are alkaline liquids. In the process of geopolymerization, it is employed. Testing of a mix proportion for geopolymer concrete was done for various grades of concrete. Geopolymer concrete's compressive and tensile strengths have been investigated and contrasted with OPC. In comparison to using simply alkaline hydroxides, reactions happen more quickly when the alkaline liquid also contains soluble silicate, such as sodium or potassium silicate.
