The study of force-resistance of reinforced geopolymer concrete beam

Tóm tắt

During the recent decades, the development of geopolymer concrete technology towards to produce an alternative construction material solution for replacing the Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) concrete. Compared to traditional concrete, the products using geopolymer material can reduce the significant amount of carbon footprint and positively impact the environment. This study demonstrated that the flexural force-resistance of Geopolymer concrete (GPC) is higher than the OPC concrete, especially the higher flexural strength about 20% to 30%. Meanwhile, the Poisson's ratio and elasticity modulus of geopolymer concrete is equivalent to OPC concrete.
