| Povzetek: | The present study aims to develop environmentally friendly concrete by using industrial waste materials, namely ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBS) and rice husk ash (RHA), to produce green concrete. Geopolymer concrete (GPC) has emerged as an alternative to eliminate the use of cement. The main objective of this study is to design and evaluate geopolymer concrete of M40, M50, and M60 grades. Mixes were prepared by replacing GGBS with RHA at 0%, 10%, 20%, and 30% replacement levels for each grade. The resistance of these mixes against 5% sulphuric acid exposure was also examined. Experiments were conducted to determine compressive strength under different parameters, including NaOH concentration, proportions of RHA and GGBS, and curing duration. Additional tests assessed the effect of acid exposure on strength and weight loss. The cost-effectiveness of GPC production was also compared with that of ordinary Portland cement (OPC). The results revealed that, for all three grades, replacement of GGBS with more than 10% RHA led to a decrease in compressive strength. Furthermore, the production cost of GPC was found to be more economical compared to OPC. Both weight loss and strength loss increased progressively with longer acid exposure. Strength reduction for M40, M50, and M60 grade concretes reached 75.4%, 76.1%, and 79.9%, respectively, when 10% of GGBS was replaced with RHA. |
