Abstract

In the construction sector, concrete takes a vital role as an inevitable construction material. The most crucial component in making concrete is cement. The main ingredient used to make regular Portland cement is limestone. Almost one ton of CO2 is discharged into the atmosphere during the manufacturing of one ton of cement, endangering the environment. Additionally, while the concrete is inferior in tension, it is relatively satisfactory in compression. The geo polymer concrete is researched using polypropylene fiber to solve the afore mentioned issue. In this article, the impact of polypropylene fiber on geopolymer concrete in various quantities is presented. The geo polymer concrete samples were made and tested at various ages, including 3, 7, 14, and 60 days, to achieve this goal.
