Abstract

Concrete is a mixture of cement, fine aggregate, coarse aggregate and water. Concrete plays a vital role in the development of infrastructure leading to second most consumed material next to water in the world. As concrete being a versatile material used for wide varieties under various conditions, ordinary concrete may fail to exhibit the desired quality, performance, and durability. And also to reduce the cost of construction and increase the performance of concrete without losing its original properties is achieved by replacing with suitable pozzalonic material. This paper deals with complete replacement of cement with ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBS). The main objective of this study is to investigate the strength and durability parameters of geopolymer concrete for 12M and 14M .For each mix standard sizes of cubes, cylinders and prisms were casted and tested. For strength at a age of 3,7,28 days and for durability at a age of 30 days chemical curing 30 days The obtained results are then compared to conserve the natural resources along with development of desired characteristics.
