Geopolymer-Enhanced Rc Beam Strength

Abstract

Fly ash has been used in the construction industry since the beginning of this decade; despite this, there is an urgent need for more experimental research, including the use of alternative materials as a possible substitute. The fabrication of plastic bottles has made considerable use of polyethylene terephthalate, most often referred to as PET. This material has been used widely. The fact that it may also be biodegraded into other substances raises a significant worry, despite the fact that it appears to have an infinite number of uses. As a direct result of this, researchers are also aiming to investigate the properties of PET fibers as a potential material for use in the construction industry. These studies were conducted with the intention of determining whether or not fly ash, bagasse ash, and metakaolin could successfully replace cement in the formulation of concrete in its entirety. In order to fulfill the requirements of this inquiry, a total of four distinct combinations were created, and the various aspects of their strengths were analyzed
