Poster summary

Construction sector across world utilizes cement as one of the most relevant and efficient raw material. It is being estimated that by manufacturing one ton of cement, roughly one ton of CO2 gas is emitted into atmosphere. With increasing awareness about global warming, development of alternative binding material that can replace cement completely has gained importance in construction sector. Many studies made on Geopolymer concrete (GPC) has proven its ability to replace cement in construction sector. This experimental investigation concentrates on completely replacing cement by alkali activated GGBFS, Fly ash and alccofine in self-consolidating concrete (SCC) mixes. The current investigation studies effect of E-Coli bacteria on workability and strength characteristics of Self-consolidating geopolymer concrete (SCGC).
