Abstract
The utilization of Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) cause hazard due to emission of CO2. To avoid this, Pozzolanic material is used as a substituted for OPC. These are activated by alkaline to form a gel known as aluminosilicate which acts as a binder in concrete. In this study cement is partially replaced by Silica fume (SF). The torsional behaviour of the conventional concrete and SF based geo-polymer concrete is tested with varying percentage of longitudinal reinforcement. The results were compared in terms of torque, twist, stiffness degradation, curvature ductility, torsional toughness and crack width.
