Geopolymer concrete is gaining a lot of attention among researchers across the globe due to its potential contribution to sustainability. Several studies have considered the use of geopolymer concrete for structural elements, but limited attempts have been made on its application in rigid pavements. The current paper investigates the mechanical and durability properties of pavement quality geopolymer concrete (PQGC) produced by varying the amount of alkali concentration and GGBFS content. The results obtained were correlated with compressive strength of PQGC and compared to control cement concrete. It was found that upon increasing the activator concentration and amount of GGBFS content significant increase in performance of PQGC can be attained. However, the increase in activator concentration above 12M and inclusion of GGBFS above 28% doesn’t show any significant impact. The design thickness calculated as per Indian Road Congress (IRC 58) using the mechanical properties obtained for PQGC was also found less than the control cement concrete.

地质聚合物混凝土因其对可持续性的潜在贡献而受到全球研究人员的广泛关注。一些研究已经考虑将地质聚合物混凝土用于结构元件，但对其在刚性路面中的应用进行了有限的尝试。本论文研究了通过改变碱浓度和 GGBFS 含量生产的路面质量地质聚合物混凝土 (PQGC) 的力学和耐久性性能。所得结果与 PQGC 的抗压强度相关，并与对照水泥混凝土进行比较。发现在增加活化剂浓度和 GGBFS 含量的量时，可以显着提高 PQGC 的性能。然而，活化剂浓度增加超过 12M 和 GGBFS 超过 28% 并没有显示出任何显着影响。根据印度道路大会 (IRC 58) 使用 PQGC 获得的机械性能计算的设计厚度也低于对照水泥混凝土。
