Mechanical characteristics of concrete containing RAP as coarse aggregate replacement for pavement application. Transportation Research Board 96th Annual Meeting, Washington D.C. 08-12 January 2017 (Lectern Session Presenter).
Geopolymer Concrete is the concrete made without using any quantity of cement. Instead the waste material from the thermal power station called fly ash is used as the binding material. This fly ash reacts with alkaline solution like sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and sodium silicate (Na2SiO3) and forms a gel which binds the fine and coarse aggregates.
paper considers the application of waste aggregates to lean concrete, based on basic mechanical property tests and environmental toxicity. Compared with natural aggregates, waste aggregates derived mainly from recycled concrete have low specific gravity and high water absorption characteristics.
