IRJET- Study of Mechanical Properties of Fly Ash Based Geopolymer Concrete
This study evaluated the mechanical properties of fly ash-based geopolymer concrete and compared them to conventional cement concrete. Fly ash-based geopolymer concrete specimens were cast and tested for properties like compressive strength, splitting tensile strength, and modulus of elasticity after 7 days of curing. The test results showed that the geopolymer concrete exhibited higher strengths and elastic modulus than required code values for conventional cement concrete after the same curing period. However, geopolymer concrete workability was lower and required heat curing which can be addressed by adding cement. Overall, the study demonstrated that geopolymer concrete has potential to be a more sustainable alternative to cement concrete.
Portland cement is manufactured by heating limestone and clay at high temperatures. It is composed mainly of calcium silicates and is used widely in construction materials like concrete and mortar. Cement production involves mixing raw materials, burning them in a kiln to form clinker, grinding the clinker, and adding gypsum. When cement powder is mixed with water, it undergoes hydration and hardens into a strong building material. Reinforced cement concrete combines cement with aggregates and steel reinforcement to make structures able to resist both compressive and tensile stresses.

Potential Clinker composition
R.H.Bouge developed a method for calculating the C3S , C2S ,
C3A & C4AF from the chemical analysis
• C3S = 4.07 ( CaO – F.CaO ) – ( 7.6 SiO2 + 6.72 Al2O3
+ 1.43 Fe2O3 + 2.85 SO3
• C2S = 2.867 SiO2 – 0.7544 C3S
• C3A = 2.65 Al2O3 – 1.69 Fe2O3
• C4AF = 3.043 Fe2O3

Burnability of raw mix has been define
as a measure of relative ease or difficulty
with which a kiln feed is Converted into
clinker in a kiln .
31. 31 Factor affecting Burnability

• The composition of Silica
phase change
• Liquid content increase
with reduced viscosity
35. 35 Factor affecting Burnability
10) Chemical
composition :- • High LSF - Difficult to burn
• Low LSF - Easy to burn
• High SM - Increase fuel cons.
- Difficult to burn
- Deteriorates the kiln
lining
• High A/F - Harder burning
• Low A/F - Easy burning

11 ) Free Lime :-
Uncombined lime in the clinker is know as Free lime
In Clinker , If LSF :- • More than 100
➢ Always contain excess
Free CaO
• Less than 100
➢ Presence of Free Cao – Very
little amount
37. 37
The kiln feed sample fired for a restricted period as in
a burnability test with 30 minutes at 1400 oC a definite
content of free lime usually remains after burning even
LSF less than 100.This happen because of two factor
1) Microinhomogenities – Uneven distribution of SiO2
and CaO in the raw mix
2) Macroinhogeneities – Coarser particle of raw meal
especially that calcite and
quartz also contributes
towards Free CaO in clinker.
