Strength, durability, and economic analysis of GGBS-based geopolymer concrete with silica fume under harsh conditions.
Article in Scientific reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Geopolymer concrete (GPC) offers a sustainable alternative by eliminating the need for cement, thereby reducing carbon dioxide emissions. Using durable concrete helps prevent the corrosion of reinforcing bars and reduces spalling caused by chemical attacks. This study investigates the impact of adding 5, 10, and 15% silica fumes (SF) on the mechanical and durability properties of GPC cured at 60 °C for 24 h. In the research, concrete specimens were submerged continuously for 62 days in four different chemicals: 6% sodium sulfate, 6% sodium chloride, 2% sulfuric acid, and 2% hydrochloric acid. The study assessed the effects of chemical exposure on concrete properties by examining water absorption, sorptivity, and compressive strength loss in GPC specimens. Maximum compressive strength, split tensile strength, and flexural strength of about 48.35 MPa, 4.91 MPa, and 5.01 MPa are achieved after incorporation of 10% SF in GPC after 28 days of curing. Results indicated that GPC with a significant dosage of SF (10%) improves its mechanical and durability properties. The maximum rebound number and ultrasonic pulse velocity are achieved after 90 days of curing with a 10% dosage of SF. Moreover, an economic analysis was conducted to confirm the economic viability.
