Abstract

Unfortunately, the production of cement impacts pessimistically on environments since it emits CO 2 —a principal Green House Gas (GHG)—encouraging the earth-heating dilemma. Moreover, it necessitates not only high temperature produced by the devouring of narrow natural mineral coal resources to obtain very high amounts of energy, but it also gulps down natural limestone deposits as a raw material that is found confined in nature to obtain intense energy. Quite recently, geopolymerisation—an exothermic process, through which geopolymeric binders can be produced by synthesis of a pozzolanic precursor rich in Alumina and Silica, for an instant, Fly Ash, with alkali solution for activation in an alkali medium at a low temperature and low operational energy—is recognized as a brilliantly promising alternative to conventional cement. That means, no elevated temperature and higher energy consuming reactions are essential any more as found associated with contemporary cement production. This research paper moves towards fulfilling the performance evaluation of durability studies viz., water permeability, sorptivity, sulphate resistance, acid resistance, salt resistance, chloride diffusion, drying shrinkage, and corrosion of fly ash based user and eco-friendly rubberized (containing rubber tyre fibres) geopolymer concrete. Comparisons of the outcomes have been made with its counterpart, which has unearthed that Rubberized Geopolymer Concrete proved to better concerning all the above-mentioned parameters than Rubberized OPC-Concrete.
