One of the potential outcomes to work out is the enormous use of geopolymer cement to swing
them to valuable natural well-disposed and innovatively favorable circumstances
cementations materials. Findings: In the present study metakaolin and ground Granulated
Blast heater slag (GGBS) is utilized to deliver geopolymer concrete. Geopolymer cement is
set up by utilizing soluble arrangement of sodium silicate and sodium hydroxide. This settled

1. INTRODUCTION
1.1. General
Concrete is synthesized with the aid of Ordinary Portland cement (OPC) as the primary binder which
generates huge amounts of carbon dioxide causing danger to the environment1-4. On the other side,
the wealth and accessibility of fly fiery debris, GGBS overall make chance to use this by-result of
smoldering coal, as halfway swap for OPC. Nonetheless, within the sight of water and in surrounding
temperature, fly fiery debris is the common hydration procedure of OPC5-7. In another plan,
pozzolans, for example, impact heater slag might be enacted utilizing soluble fluids to shape a folio
and thus absolutely supplant the utilization of OPC in cement8-10.
Cement is a standout amongst the most generally utilized development materials.On the other
hand, natural issues came about because of bond creation has turned into a noteworthy concern
today11.Geopolymer cement is made by responding aluminate and silicate bearing materials with an
acidic activator slag. Geopolymer are inorganic fasteners, which are recognized by the
accompanying fundamental property of Compressive strength has relationship with the time taken
for the process of curing and the corresponding temperature12-16.
Cement is a standout amongst the most generally utilized development material. Portland
concrete generation is a noteworthy giver to carbon-di-oxide emanations. The a worldwide
temperature alteration is created by the emanation of nursery gasses Numerous endeavors are being
made keeping in mind the end goal to lessen the utilization of Portland bond in concrete17-18.
2. OBJECTIVES
To study GGBS based Geopolymer Concrete (0% cement content) and Conventional Concrete (100%
cement).
With the hardened GGBS concrete, three properties such as the hardening concrete with GGBS
properties such as Compressive strength, Split tensile strength, Flexural strength are found.
To study the different strength properties of geo-polymer concrete with percentage replacement of
GGBS
3. MATERIALSUSED
3.1. Metakaolin (or) kaolinite
The properties of Metakoalin are shown in Table 1. and Figures 1-3.

4. METHODOLOGY
4.1. Mix
The essential distinction between geopolymer cement and others is the fastener. To frame
geopolymer glue antacid activator arrangement used to respond with silicon and aluminum oxides
which are available in Metakaolin and GGBS. This basic activator arrangement ties coarse total and
fine total to frame geopolymer blend. The fine and coarse total involve about 75% to 80% mass of
geopolymer cement. The fine total was taken as 30% of aggregate. The thickness of geopolymer
cement is taken 2400 kg/m3.The workability and quality of cement are impacted by properties of
materials that make geopolymer concrete.
4.3.2. Mixing
The alkaline activator solution is prepared before 24 hours of casting. Initially, all dry materials were
mixed properly for three minutes. Alkaline activator solution is added slowly to the mixture. Mixing
is done for 5 minutes to get uniform mix.
4.3.3. Casting
The sizes of the moulds used are cube (150mmx150mmx150mm), cylinder (150mm dia and 300mm
height), and prism (500mmx100mmx100mm). Mixing in dry environment is performed for 180-300
seconds and further cubical shape moulds are obtained in the size 150 x 150x 150 mm.
4.3.4. Curing
Moulds were demoded after 1 day. The average temperature recorded during the period of ambient
curing. The curing is done for3, 7 and 28 days. Curing simulates solidification of the material which
is essential requirement for cement setting.
5. RESULTSAND DISCUSSIONS
5.1. Compressive strength
The optimal mixture of GGBS to Mk for obtaining maximum rigidity is 9:1. From the results
obtained, the optimal mix is obtained at 7th and 28th day. The cubes of the designated volume for
different percentages of GGBS (0%, 30%, 40% and 50%) are casted, cured for different ages, shown
in Table 12. and Figure 12-13. The testing is carried out at normal operating conditions using
standard testing equipment to obtain the comprehensive strength for different mixtures.
6. CONCLUSIONS
Strengths of Geopolymer Concrete are decrease with Decrease in METAKAOLIN (MK) i.e MK 0-
GGBS100.
Compressive strength, split tensile strength and flexural strength of green concrete tend to vary in
direct relation to percentage of slag content.
The strength variation for Compressive strength is 33.5%, split tensile is 30.9%, flexural strength is
25.7%
Strength and rigidity of the concrete material developed in terms of compressive, flexural and tensile
tends to vary in direct relation with time (age). The green concrete resists the attack of various
chemicals and therefore, it is durable for the given mix proportion.
Proportion B1obtained the maximum in percentage reduction of 0.73 in weight for 20 days of chemical
curing (H2SO4).
Proportion B6 obtained the maximum in percentage reduction of 11.23 in Compressive strength for
20 days of chemical curing (H2SO4).
