Abstract
Geopolymer concrete (GPC) is an emerging environmental friendly construction material in present construction world. Extensive research related to strength and durability studies is being done on this material. But, it is required to check the mechanism of potential reactive aggregates with GPC. Alkali silica reaction (ASR) is one of the major problems with the aggregates. Volumetric expansion of silica gel produce internal stresses in the concrete and leads to strength loss, cracking and failure of the structure. In the present investigation three different types of aggregates were used with Fly ash and GGBS based Geopolymer as binder. Mechanical testing included the potential reactivity of aggregate and length change measurements as per ASTM: C1260-07 standards. Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) is used for petrographic analysis. It is observed that the alkali silica reaction in Fly ash and GGBS based geopolymer concrete is comparatively less than the OPC based concrete and the expansions are well below ASTM threshold.
