In road construction.
Why GEOPOLYMER?
Geopolymer concrete has the potential to substantially curb CO2
emissions
produce a more durable infrastructure capable of design life measured
in hundreds of years
conserve hundreds of thousands of acres currently used for disposal
of coal combustion products
protect aquifers and surface bodies of fresh water via the elimination
of fly ash disposal sites.
OPC vs GEO POLYMER
Geopolymer concrete (GPC) using fly ash
Greater corrosion resistance,
Substantially higher fire resistance (up to 2400 F),
High compressive and tensile strengths
Rapid strength gain, and lower shrinkage.
Greenhouse gas reduction potential as much as
90 percent when compared with OPC.

TYPES OF FIBRES
1. Steel fibers
2. Glass fibers
3. Carbon fibers
PROPERTIES OF FIBRE
REINFORCED GPC
MODERATE reduction in compressive strength.
Increases split tension strength.
Increases flexure capacity.
Increases cracking moment capacity.
Increases ultimate capacity of the beams.
Improves the resistance to fracture disintegration and fatigue.
Able to withstand light and heavy load.
What is FFGC?
The fibers were mixed by weight fractions of 0.2% to
1.2% of fly ash with mix composition of FGC mixture ,
selected based on the optimized compressive strength
and flexural strength . the fiber reinforced mixture are
named here as FFGC (fiber reinforced fly ash based
geopolymer concrete).
