Flexural Performance of GPC one-way Slabs Reinforced with GFRP Reinforcements

Abstract

This paper presents the flexural characteristics of Binary GeoPolymer concrete (GPC) one-way slabs reinforced with GFRP(Glass Fibre Reinforced Polymer) rebars under Laboratory two point Static loading condition. Generally GPC is a combination of Flyash as a main binder constituent and other source materials namely Ground Granulated Blast furnace(GGBS), Rice Ash , Alcofine etc.. In this study 70% Flyash combined with 30% GGBS is used instead of Ordinary Portland Cement to produce greenery material as well as to reduce the emission of Carbondioxide during Cement Production. Investigations were piloted on GPC one way slabs subjected to four point bending test experimentally. Totally five slabs were considered with different parameters for the analysis such as load and deflection characteristics along with ultimate load capability.
