【 摘 要 】

Geopolymer concrete is an emerging and innovative alkali-activated concrete that has been growingly studied because of its superior mechanical strengths and durability properties. This study, therefore, investigates the utilization of both corncob ash (CCA) and ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBFS) as source materials activating with both sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and sodium silicate (Na2SiO3) solutions in the production of geopolymer concrete (GPC). Sodium hydroxide was prepared in 12 molar concentration using Grade 30 MPa mix design ratio. GGBFS was replaced by CCA in varying percentages 20, 40, 60, 80, and 100% and cured in ambient conditions. Slump, density, and compressive strength of GPC were determined and compared with Portland Cement Concrete (PCC) of the same grade. The research findings indicate an optimal strength of 100% GGBFS with a compressive strength of 43.17MPa at 28 days curing for GPC compared with 35.12MPa for PCC. The result reveals that GPC has better strength than PCC and, CCA and GGBFS can be utilized as aluminosilicate materials to replace cement in the production of GPC.
