    Introduction:
    Cement is the major construction material in worldwide.
    It is ready availability, cost effectiveness, wide ranging of performance and suitable for all
    constructions. It gives good durability and strength.
    Production of Cement is increasing due to the increasing demand from the construction
    industries.

    What’s wrong with cement ?


    During Cement production releases high amounts of CO2 to the atmosphere. (1 tonne of
    cement production release 1 tonne of CO2) thus contributing to 7% of world CO2 emission.
    Cement production is highly energy intensive
    Large amount of fly ash are generated from thermal coal-fired power plant and small
    amount is used for various purpose .
    How to reduce usage of cement ?
    ❖ Partially replace the use of cement in Bricks/ Block/concrete.
    Example:
    Blended cements, High volume fly ash.

    ❖ Develop alternate materials like


    GEOPOLYMER BLOCK / CONCRETE
    Example:
    Fly Ash, GGBFS
    GEOPOLYMER
    A geopolymer is a solid aluminosilicate material usually formed by alkali
    hydroxide or alkali silicate activation of a solid precursor such as coal fly ash,
    calcined clay and/or metallurgical slag.
    Hardened cementitious paste made from Fly ash, GGBS and Alkaline Solution.
    The Geopolymer has all the properties same as ordinary Portland cement and can
    be used as the replacement material for OPC. Combines waste products into
    useful products. Geopolymer block is a high strength and lightweight inorganic
    polymer that can be used in place of normal/regular block.
    Prestressed Concrete Beams
    Prestressed concrete is a system devised to provide sufficient precompression
    in the concrete beam by tensioned steel wires, cables, or rods that under
    working conditions the concrete has no tensile stresses or the tensile stresses
    are so low that no visible cracking occurs.
    Prestressed concrete is basically concrete in which internal stresses of a
    suitable magnitude and distribution are introduced so that the stresses resulting
    from the external loads are counteracted to a desired degree.
    OBJECTIVES
    To Procure and characterize the material required to make
    Geopolymer concrete units like fly ash, GGBS, silica fume,
    Metakaolin, clay and red soil.
    To Analyze the setting characteristics of combinations of
    different binders like (a) fly ash (b) GGBS (c) Metakaolin (d)
    silica fume (e) iron ore tailings (f) red soil.
    To Determine the strength development of the paste along
    with microstructure in PSC.
    To Investigate the properties of the geopolymer PSC beams in
    flexural strength and comparative with traditional PSC beams
    LITERATURE STUDY :
    Flexural behavior of ultra-high performance geopolymer RC beams reinforced
    with GFRP bars:
    Taha A. El-Sayed,etal has used Geopolymer concrete (GPC) reinforced with glass fiber
    reinforced polymer (GFRP) as materials in PSC and described the flexural behavior of the
    geopolymer Ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC) beams. Also, the impact of UHPC
    reinforced with glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) bars was studied.Four High
    Strength Concrete (HSC) beams and another four in UHPC were reinforced using GFRP
    with different ratios. The Results exhibited increasing the first crack load and ultimate load
    carrying capacity. GPC beams showed a smaller deflection increase at the same ultimate
    load. GPC beams reinforced with GFRP bars documented a higher crack width compared
    with control. Using GFRP bars in reinforcement improved the concrete defection, the
    patterns of cracks, cracks number of and the failure mode.
    Development of ultra-light foamed insulation materials and interfacial bond
    behavior with fiber-reinforced alkali-activated composites
    Jianjun Zhao, etal study developed a new green external insulation system that integrates insulation
    and formwork based on alkali activation technology. The preparation technology of ultra-light foam
    insulation material (ULFIM) and the interface design method between ULFIM and fiber reinforced
    alkali-activated composite material (FRAC) were proposed.The effects of rice husk ash (RHA) and
    polyethylene (PE) fiber content on the dry density, thermal conductivity, compressive strength,
    volumetric water absorption, and pore structure parameters of ULFIM were studied. The effects of
    groove width, groove depth, groove spacing, and groove density on the interfacial bond behavior of
    FRAC-ULFIM were discussed. The microstructure of ULFIM and the interface transition zone
    morphology of FRAC-ULFIM and FRAC-extruded polystyrene (XPS) were observed using
    scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and the mechanism of influencing factors on the
    corresponding indicators were revealed. The results showed that adding an appropriate amount of
    RHA and PE fiber had a significant positive effect on improving the performance of ULFIM.
