Abstract - The incorporation of extra cementitious elements as partial substitutes for cement in concrete will significantly contribute to environmental management of greenhouse effects and the lowering of global temperatures. The development of geopolymer concrete (GPC), in which all of the portland cement is replaced with fly ash (in combination with sodium hydroxide and sodium silicate solutions), offers a promising alternative to ordinary portland cement concrete. In general the results of Geo-polymer concrete obtained from the behavior of a source material i.e. high in silica, alumina and with alkaline liquid. The word geo-polymer was coined by Davidovit’s. Geo-polymer substances lately described as entity to acid opposition. The present thesis studies the laboratory investigation information on Behavior of fly-ash deployed geo-polymer concretes revealed inThe development of geopolymer concrete (GPC), in which all of the portland cement is replaced with fly ash (in combination with sodium hydroxide and sodium silicate solutions), offers a promising alternative to ordinary portland cement concrete.

Geo-polymer substances lately described as entity to acid opposition. The use of supplementary cementitious materials as partial replacements of the cement in concrete will play a significant role with respect to the environmental control of greenhouse effects and global temperature reduction.
