Investigation of the Effects of Nano Silica Particles and Zeolite on the Mechanical Strengths of Metakaolin-Based Geopolymer Concrete

Due to its unique qualities, concrete is the most extensively utilized substance in construction sector after water. However, because one ton of Portland cement produces about CO2, manufacturing process has considerable disadvantages. As a result, an alternative appears be required. Geopolymer new and environmentally friendly cementitious material that can used place cement. Chemically mechanically, geopolymer outperforms traditional concrete. The weight ratio water dry matter polymerization, as well sodium silicate NaOH solution, have impact on compressive strength additional research into these variables appeared necessary. This paper specifically looked at how nanosilica zeolite affected mechanical metakaolin-based Nanosilica was added improve characteristics. Furthermore, using aluminosilicate source lowers while also lowering cost. optimal ratios for polymerization solution were 0.4741 1.5, respectively, resulting maximum pressures 3, 7, 28 days.
