Characterisation study on clay based geopolymer concrete

In general geo polymer concrete is produced using industrial waste by products such as fly ash, slags and metakaolin and many published research papers are available. But very few papers are available an utilization of clay for geo polymer concrete. In this paper four types of raw clays collected from varies places of Tamilnadu and used for making geo polymer concrete. Clays are used as obtained from the source and also the same four clays after heat treatment up to 900^°c for one hour in a muffle furnace. Chemical analysis, physical and mechanical strength parameters are studied and the result are presented.
