Abstract
Existing multi-storey buildings in earthquake prone regions of India are vulnerable to severe damage under earthquakes. So there is an urgent need for retrofitting of deficient and damaged buildings. Portland cement (PC) production is under critical review due to high amount of carbon dioxide gas released to the atmosphere and Portland cement is also one among the most energy-intensive construction material So retrofitting of existing deficient building using eco-friendly material which higher structural performance than the original building is essential Geopolymer concrete (GPC), a non-Portland cement binder based on alkaline activation of industrial wastes such as fly ash and GGBS. The application Geopolymer concrete in retrofitting can reduce the production of cement and can create an ecofriendly construction atmosphere to an extent. So the feasibility of geopolymer concrete in retrofitting of damaged structures is required to be studied. Non-linear finite element analysis of beams by 3D modeling of concrete (solid65 element) and discrete modeling of reinforcement (Link 8 element) was carried out using ANSYS software. The load deflection characteristics, failure modes and crack patterns are obtained from the experimental and analytical studies.
