Abstract

An experimental study was carried out to develop a metakaolin-based geopolymer concrete. Meta-kaolin clay was used as the source material in the study. The alkali activator solution was prepared with sodium-based compounds such as sodium silicate and sodium hydroxide solution. The molarity of sodium hydroxide solution was taken as 10,12,14 and 16M. The ratio of Sodium silicate to sodium hydroxide solution was kept as1,1.5,2 and 2.5. The optimum results of compressive strength for M30 geopolymer concrete were found at 14 Molar sodium hydroxide solution for the ratio of 2.5:1 of alkali-activated solution. This mix was used for further investigation in which the basalt fibers were added as a percentage replacement of meta-kaolin.
