Geopolymers are a type of inorganic polymer & light weight material that can be formed at room temperature with less energy losses by using industrial waste or by-products as source materials to form a solid binder. Geopolymer concrete is manufactured from utilization of waste material from industrial waste such as fly ash. Geopolymer concrete is a type of by which we can be used in applications to fully or partially replace OPC with environmental and technical alternative to Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) based concrete. In the manufacture industry the creation of Portland cement causes the secretion of air pollutants which results in environmental contamination. It reduces 80 - 90% CO2 emissions. Coconuts fiber is collected from temples & shops and it is burn in open air then the ash obtained by coconut fiber ash is passed through 150 micron sieve. And then replacement of class f fly ash by coconut fiber fly ash replace 0%, to 1.5% and when it is increase from 1.5% i.e. up to 2% result obtained is decreasing in compressive strength. Fly ash plays a vital role in Geopolymer concrete, and class f fly ash is used in construction purposes which contain 10% of lime also to replace the use of conventional ordinary Portland cement. The binding agent is the only difference to the ordinary Portland cement concrete because OPC is responsible for high content of energy losses and it requires high temperature for manufacturing.

In the road construction various types of materials and design methods are used, for the reduction of environmental pollution, use of plastic waste in road construction is one of them. Since the plastic waste material is non-biodegradable, the use of plastic waste material in road construction can help us to reduce the plastic waste pollution to some extent. A lot of research is going on all over the country to solve the problems which are related to the road construction. The plastic waste (Low density polymer) in bitumen helps in increasing life of flexible pavement. Generally life of flexible pavement is 4 to 5years, while it is claimed that the plastic waste bitumen roads can last up to 10 years. In this study, I have compare the results of normal bitumen and plastic waste (LDP) mix bitumen, to get the idea of how much percentage of plastic waste can be added in bitumen with respect to the weight of bitumen for the optimum performance of mix. Results shows that as the percentage of plastic waste (LDP) is increased at 1.0%,3.0%,6.0% and 9.0% with respect to the weight of bitumen, the softening point bitumen plastic waste (LDP) mix increases, flash and fire point increases, penetration value decreases and ductility value decreases. Marshall Stability of dense bituminous mix at 1.0%, 3.0%, 6.0% and 9.0% of plastic waste (LDP), the flow value of mix decreases and the stability increases therefore; the optimum percentage of plastic waste (LDP) to get the desirable result is 3%.

As curing is most important process in concreting and it requires large amount of water, an alternate approach is taken to reduce the water requirement and to increase its strength properties than conventional concrete. So we go for PEG-400 as an admixture to attain internal curing of concrete. In this method hydration is done by lockingthe water content added for mixing from evaporation and by forming a thin film over it. PEG-400 is added in the ratios 0.5%, 1%, 1.5% and 2% in the weight of cement. Since PEG-400 is soluble in water it can be added along with water in mixing process. Hence self-curing can be an alternate method for conventional curing methods.
