Integrating sugarcane bagasse ash into geopolymer concrete: strength, durability, and predictive modelling with ANN

Effect of Alkali Activators on Mechanical and Durability Properties of Fly Ash based Geopolymer Concrete

The production of ordinary Portland cement (OPC) is one of the major sources of carbon dioxide emissions in the construction industry, creating a need for more sustainable building materials. Fly ash-based geopolymer concrete (GPC) has emerged as a promising alternative because it can reduce environmental impact while...

Experimental Investigation on Mechanical and Durability Properties of M60 Grade High-Performance Fly Ash-Based Geopolymer Concrete

Ordinary Portland cement (OPC) production is energy intensive and emits significant amount of carbon dioxide, thus the need for sustainable alternatives in the construction industry. This study experimentally examines the mechanical properties and durability of the high-performance geopolymer concrete (HPGPC) with 100%...

Experimental and ANN-based prediction of the mechanical properties of fly ash geopolymer concrete

Valorization of Sugarcane Bagasse Ash and Jackfruit Leaf Ash in Sustainable Geopolymer Binders: Performance and Microstructural Characteristics

The mounting requirement for sustainable construction materials has augmented the development of geopolymer binders incorporating agricultural wastes. Unlike the previous studies on individual agricultural ashes, this study investigates the viability of combined use of sugarcane bagasse ash (SCBA) and jackfruit leaf as...

Structural characteristics of geopolymer concrete beams using alkali-modified blended ash: a comparative evaluation with conventional beams

ABSTRACT This study evaluates the fresh-state rheology and flexural performance of ambient-cured geopolymer concrete (GPC) as a sustainable alternative to M35 grade concrete. Using fly ash and GGBS activated by sodium hydroxide (SH) and sodium silicate (SS), the research investigated a parametric molarity range from 4M...

Mechanical and Microstructural Performance of M30 Grade Sustainable Concrete with Dolomite Powder and Sugarcane Bagasse Ash as Blended Cement Replacements

This study analyzes the combined effects of dolomite powder (DP) and Sugarcane Bagasse Ash (SCBA) used as a binary auxiliary binding composition on M30 grade concrete to enhance its mechanical behavior, durability, and microstructure stability when subjected to aggressive environment conditions. Five different concrete...
