Abstract

In this paper, the compressive strength of geopolymeric binder prepared using the source materials such as fly ash, ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBS) and ceramic waste powder without using any conventional cement has been investigated. The compressive strength was determined as per relevant Indian Standard. The different parameters considered in this study are the proportion of binder components such as ratio of Na2SiO3/NaOH solutions and alkaline liquid to binder ratio. The various combinations of fly ash, GGBS and ceramic waste powder considered are 80%, 10% &10%; 60%, 20% & 20% and 40%, 30% & 30% respectively. The ratio of binder to sand and Na2SiO3/NaOH solutions is taken as 1:2 & 1:3 and 2 & 2.5. The alkaline liquid to binder ratio is 0.45. The compressive strength of mortar cubes are determined at 7 and 28 days. It can be concluded that, as the percentage of the Ceramic waste powder increases, the compressive strength of the geopolymeric binder decreases when compared to conventional binder.
