Abstract

Concrete is a highly versatile construction material well suited for many agricultural applications. Cement is the 2nd most used material in the world; it is a mixture of Portland cement, water aggregate and sometimes adds mixtures. Ordinary Portland cement production is one of the major generators of carbon dioxide which is very hazardous for the atmosphere. Geopolymer cement utilizes industrial waste materials such as fly ash from thermal power stations to provide a practical solution to waste management as well as environmental protection methods. Geopolymer is an eco-friendly construction material produced by the reaction of inorganic molecules. The waste material like fly ash and ground granulated furnace slag (GGBS) can widely utilize to produce geopolymer concrete. An appropriate technology must be used for the conversion into geopolymer concrete. This production is also helps in waste decomposition which is a worldwide problem. There are two types of geopolymer (a) alkali activate geopolymer (b) fly ash based geopolymer .it is the best alternative to the cement concrete . GPC can also be produced without any OPC .In the report we will know more about GPC.
