Concrete is the most adaptable, long-lasting, and dependable construction material on the planet. There are numerous environmental concerns associated with the production of OPC, and natural sand is becoming more expensive and scarce as a result of unlawful river sand dredging. The greatest replacement material for traditional concrete is geopolymer concrete with low calcium fly ash. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the mechanical properties of geopolymer concrete of grades G30 and G50, which are equivalent to M30 and M50, when river sand is substituted in various quantities with manufactured sand, such as 0%, 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, 90%, and 100%. When compared to the equivalent grades of controlled concrete, geopolymer concrete improves mechanical properties such as compressive, tensile, and flexural strengths. |
