Abstract: This paper elucidates an alternative to conventional concrete we introduced Geopolymer concrete ie replacing cement with pozzolanic materials like GGBS and fly ash. In our study we incorporated GGBS with cement at cent percent and alkali solutions like Sodium hydroxide and Sodium silicate are used in ratio 1:2 as binders. We designed for 8 &10 molarity of sodium hydroxide. Compressive strength and flexural strength are found for Geopolymer concrete for 7 and 28 days of curing. The overall aim is to reduce usage of cement as well as to reduce pollution because one ton of cement produce one ton of carbon dioxide. This type of concrete improves use of waste products of industry in our construction industry.
