A DETAILED REVIEW ON DIFFERENT GEOPOLYMER BASED DOSAGES IN SOIL STABILIZATION

Abstract

In the stabilization of soft and weak soils, Ordinary Portland cement plus lime are often utilized. According to several researches, the manufacture of cement creates a large quantity of Carbon dioxide gas, which would be the primary cause of global warming. Geopolymers (Geo-P), that are cheap as compared to other, have great UCS and durability’s, and create less Carbon dioxide than Ordinary-PC and Activator, offer an alternative to many building materials. Geopolymers are sustainable composites materials made from alkali- treated alum inosilicate wastes including such fly ash, rice husk. Different uses of geopolymers binders, such as the creation of Eco-friendly concretes, coated elements, brick, and as a means of stabilization of the soil, have been investigated during the past 30 years. Furthermore, the manufacturing of geopolymers uses less energy. This review article focuses on research into the application of various geopolymers as soil stabilizers. The implications of several geopolymer factors such as percentage mixes (percent), curing time (days), Alkaline Activator type, and Unconfined Compressive Strength (UCS) determinations for various geopolymers have been reviewed in this paper. Soil stabilization, sub - base and base course of paving constructions might all benefit from geopolymer-stabilized soils. Additionally, this soil stabilization method is still not much more cost-effective and ecologically friendly, but also produces good usage commercial waste material.
