Comparison of the Beam Mechanical Properties between the CDG Based Geopolymer Concrete and OPC Concrete

Abstract

Abstract This paper presents the results of an experimental investigation on the beam mechanical properties, based on the completely decomposed granite (CDG) & slag based geopolymer reinforced concrete, as well as the OPC reinforced concrete. The failure mode and bearing capacity of beam members were obtained. The load vs mid span deflection relationship and load vs displacement relationship were discussed. Furthermore, the results show the feasibility of the CDG & slag based geopolymer concrete in engineering application.
