Strength of RC Beam using Geopolymer

Abstract

The continual depletion of raw materials in the building sector has reached an exceptionally frightening stage, to
the extent where the utilisation of waste by-products from a range of other industries has turned into an
imperative need. Since the beginning of this decade, the building sector has made use of fly ash; still, there is a
pressing need for additional experimental research involving the use of alternative materials as a viable
replacement. Polyethylene terephthalate, more generally referred to as PET, has been exploited extensively in
the creation of plastic bottles. Even though it has a seemingly unlimited variety of uses, its biodegradability is a
big problem. As a consequence of this, researchers are also aiming to study the properties of PET fibres as a
material for constructing.
