  • Abstract:
  • Normally water is the most used material in worldwide. Next to the water is concrete which is made up of cement, water and aggregates. Ordinary Portland cement which generate more amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere which much polluted the atmosphere. The geopolymer technology could reduce the CO2 emission to the atmosphere caused by cement industries, thereby reducing the global warming. The amount of energy consumes for the production of cement is more. Now a day’s alternative material for cement like silica fume, metakaolin, etc. but the basic one is fly ash. In our study we are discussed about the geo polymer concrete whereas it is an innovative construction material, which produces from some of chemical actions of inorganic molecules. Everyone knows fly ash is product from coal which is obtained from the power plant and it is a largely available material in India. Silica and alumina in the fly ash is rich which produce alumina silicate gel that act as a binding material of the concrete. Fly ash play a vital role for the alternative construction material to the ordinary Portland cement. In this paper we discussed the properties and the applications of the geopolymer Concrete
