A study on abrasion resistance in geopolymer concrete pavement

Abstract

Cement is the world’s most reliable construction material. The rate of consumption and production of Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) increases, which leads to environmental pollution by the emission of carbon dioxide (CO2 ).In this study cement is replaced by class F fly ash in concrete which will be activated by sodium hydroxide and sodium silicate solution, act as a binding material. This study is focus on abrasion resistant of geopolymer concrete in pavement application. On the other hand the comparison is made between the conventional concrete pavement and geopolymer concrete pavement.
