520 | _aThis investigation systematically explores the attributes of self-compacting Geopolymer concrete (SCGC) in both its fresh and hardened states, with a particular emphasis on the introduction of Nano-alumina (Al2O3). The study encompasses nine distinct SCGC formulations, each integrating differing proportions of Nano-alumina (NA) – ranging from 0% to 1.5%. SCGC was prepared using (100) % ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBFS), (50) % Slag, (50) % Fly-ash(FA), "and 100% Fly-ash (FA)"with a constant alkaline activator to binder ratio of 0.5. A combination of sodium silicate solution (Na2SiO3) and sodium hydroxide solution (NaOH) with a predetermined ratio of (2.5) was selected as the alkaline activator for this study. A comprehensive set of tests, encompassing fresh state and hardened concrete evaluations such as slump, flow-ability, workability, flexural strength, impact strength, and compressive strength, were conducted to assess the mechanical properties of self-compacting Geopolymer concrete (SCGC). The acquired experimental outcomes underwent detailed analysis to elucidate the performance characteristics of SCGC. Furthermore, correlations between experimental figures were evaluated to explore the interlink between fresh and hardened phase properties of Geopolymer concretes. The experimental results show that the use of Nano-alumina had significant effects on the fresh state characteristics of concrete. Additionally, adding (1.5) % Nano-alumina to the mixture significantly improved the mechanical functioning of the SCGC samples. | ||
