INTRODUCTION:
The growth of the world is dependent upon infrastructure development. Cement is one of the major construction materials used in infrastructure around the world.
The emission of carbon-di-oxide during the manufacturing of cement pollutes the atmosphere.
The production of one ton of Portland cement emits one ton of carbon-di-oxide into the atmosphere. In order to address the environmental effect, there is a need to use Geopolymer concrete.
GEOPOLYMER CONCRETE:
Geopolymer concrete is a new material that has fly ash instead of cement as a binder.
Fly ash and Aggregates are activated with alkali solution to produce geopolymer concrete.
ADVANTAGES:
Resistance to fire, alkali aggregate reaction and sulphate attack. Durable building material. Aesthetic appearance. Reducing segregation and bleeding. Easy to use , recyclable and less expensive
APPLICATIONS:
Mining
Environment/ Waste management Special applications
OBJECTIVES:
To develop a mixture proportion to manufacture high Calcium flyash based geopolymer concrete. To identify and study the effect of parameters that affects the properties of high Calcium flyash based geopolymer concrete. The parameter includes Molarity, alkaline / fly ash ratio, Sodium hydroxide / Sodium silicate ratio and curing type.

CONCLUSIONS:
16 M concentration of sodium hydroxide solution results in higher compressive strength of geopolymer concrete than 10 M and 12 M. Sodium hydroxide to sodium silicate ratio of 2.5 results in better compressive strength of geopolymer concrete.
Longer curing time produces higher compressive strength of geo polymer concrete.
The slump value of the fresh geopolymer concrete increases with the increase of extra water added to the mixture. As the molarity increases the compressive strength of geo polymer concrete is also increases. The average density of geopolymer concrete is similar to that of OPC concrete. The average compressive strength of geopolymer concrete is less than the conventional concrete.
