INTRODUCTION: GEOPOLYMER CONCRETE
In this drastically developing world it becomes very important for us as civil engineers to focus both on the global development and also its impact on the environment. This kind of approach leads to many innovations and researches which helps in conserving the environment without compromising on the developments. One such innovative technology is the geopolymer concrete.
Geopolymer concrete is an eco-friendly technology which makes use of the waste by products (flyash, ground granulated blastf furnace slag, etc.) from the various other industries in the preparation of the concrete instead of the ordinary Portland cement (OPC). The evidences from various researches show that using of OPC in the preparation of concrete leads to almost 5-8% of the man made global carbon-di-oxide emissions. By using materials like the fly ash and GGBS for the preparation of the concrete almost reduces the carbon-di-oxide emission by 90% when compared to the usage of OPC in concrete.
In line with this continuing endeavour, ICI-BENC is organising a 1-Day Seminar entitled “Geopolymer Concrete Applications: Challenges and Opportunities” on 18th February 2020, Tuesday, at Prem Chandra Sagar Auditorium, Dayananda Sagar College of Engineering, Bengaluru. Get to know from the experts and hands-on professionals will speak on vital aspects.
