Abstract
In general environmental pollution caused due to the production of Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) emits CO2. Also huge quantity of concrete is consumed by the construction industry all over the world, probably second largest after the water. In India conventional concrete is produced by natural sand from river beds as fine aggregate. Dwindling sand resources poses the environmental problem and hence government restriction on sand quarrying resulted in scarcity and significant increase in its cost. Many Steel reinforced concrete structures exposed to de-icing salts and marine environment requires extensive and expansive maintenance. To overcome the above environmental issues, there is significant replacement required for the above materials which is most reliable. So the research focuses on the study of Flexural Behaviour of Geopolymer concrete beams reinforced with GFRP bars and M-Sand. Lack of studies in the use of GFRP bars in Geopolymer concrete with the use of M-Sand has been focused now. This paper presents an overview of the Geopolymer concrete with different constituents of materials and properties of Geopolymer concrete. Later discussions were carried out about FRP in Conventional concrete and GFRP in Geopolymer by wrapping. Finally shows that the research gap between GFRP bars and Geopolymer concrete with the use of M-Sand were focused. © Research India Publications.
