Abstract

In this paper, a detailed study was carried out on strength behaviour of flyash based geopolymer concrete with hollow
space below neutral axis . Use of hollow space at and near the neutral axis will reduce the selfweight and saves concrete materials.
This paper focuses on material minimization by introducing hollow space using pvc pipe in tension zone of beams. By this method, we
can reduce the dead loads which contribute to seismic effect in high rise structures. Geopolymer concrete shall be produced without
using any amount of ordinary Portland cement. Alkaline solution produced aluminosilicate gel that acts as the binding material for the
concrete. Thus many efforts are being made to reduce the usage of opc which responsible for carbondioxide emission. M30 grade
concrete is used for ordinary and geopolymer concrete. Analysis was done by ANSYS software.
