Abstract
The Concrete is widespread construction material used in the engineering industry due to its greater structural strength and stability. The construction society is consistently trying to find supplementary cementitious material with the target to reduce environmental pollution. To overcome this crisis, Geopolymer concrete can be an economic alternative. In this paper, to produce the Geopolymer concrete the Portland cement is fully replaced with GGBS and Metakaolin. The strength and durability properties of Geopolymer concrete are studied using GGBS replaced with Metakaolin. Sodium silicate and sodium hydroxide of 12 molarity solutions were used as alkalis for polymerization in all mixes. The mechanical properties such as compressive strength, split tensile strength, flexural strength, and various durability properties were determined. It is observed that the composition of 90% GGBS and 10% Metakaolin contributes to good performance than the other mixes.
