Abstract: World's most consumed construction material is concrete made up of cement, aggregates, water and additives as it is found to be more versatile, durable and reliable. Concrete is the second most consumed material after water, which required large quantities of Portland cement. The manufacturing process of Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) results in destruction of the environment due to the emission of CO2 as well mining also results in unrecoverable loss to nature. The amount of carbon emissions is increasing on an alarming scale and hence, it is required to find an alternative material to the existing expensive cement-concrete. Geopolymer concrete is an alternative construction material which is produced by the chemical action of inorganic molecules. Fly Ash....
Key words: geopolymer concrete, fly ash, GGBFS, alkaline solutions
