Performance Evaluation of Geopolymer Masonry Units Using Fly Ash and GGBFS: Dimensionality, Density, Water Absorption, and Compressive Strength Analysis

By Singh Utsav Ramesh Chhaya and Harsh Rathore

Abstract: AbstractThis study investigates the production, properties, and performance of geopolymer masonry units,utilizing Class F fly ash and Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag (GGBFS) as primary binders.These binders were activated using an 8M alkaline solution, with the materials mixed alongsidemanufactured sand (M-sand) as the fine aggregate. The binder-to-aggregate ratio was maintained at1:1, while the alkaline solution-to-binder…

Strengthening of Foundation for Pavement

By Birendra Kumar Singh

Abstract: Abstract The bearing capacity of soil is a critical factor in construction engineering, particularly for designing and constructing pavement foundations. It directly depends on the load intensity the soil can support. For Class AA loading conditions, a minimum bearing capacity of 20 t/m² is required. However, the presence of frequent rain and flash floods often…
