Authors

Abstract
Geopolymer Concrete (GPCs) is a new class of concrete based on an inorganic alumina silicate binder system compared to the hydrated calcium silicate binder system of concrete are activated by alkaline liquids to produce the binder. The basic material used for the activation of the geopolimerization process is Fly ash, also to replace the use of conventional Portland cement. The binding agent is the only difference to the ordinary Portland cement concrete. To activate content in fly ash, sodium hydroxide solution and sodium silicate solution was used in combination. The geopolymer possesses the advantages of rapid strength gain, elimination of water curing, good mechanical and durability properties and are eco-friendly and sustainable alternative to Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) based concrete. In the construction industry mainly the production of Portland cement causes the emission of air pollutants which results in environmental pollution. It reduces 80 - 90% CO2 emissions.
Keywords- Geopolymer (GPC), Fly ash, chemicals.
