Geopolymer concrete with partially replacement of granite waste a fine Aggregate

Granite wastes are generated from granite polishing industry or granite cutting industry. Disposal of granite waste is a major problem. As the granite waste is reactive it cannot be disposed into land which increases land pollution. As per world health organization report production of cement concrete accounts to about 5 % of the man made pollution for global warming. The granite waste because of its fineness and size it can be effectively used as a replacement of sand. An attempt was made to introduce granite aggregate into geo polymer concrete.. The paper present results of experimental program on mechanical properties such as compressive strength, flexural strength, and split tensile strength of Geopolymer concrete in two composite 90% fly ash, 10% GGBS or lime with varying percentage of granite waste in Ambient Curing.
