Abstract
Geopolymer concrete is the budding unconventional construction material by surrogate of cement concrete, due to the ecological effluence cement is replaces by fly ash. Fly ash is the derivative of thermal power plant industry and also it reduce the prerequisite of water, this paper cram of geopolymer concrete in special environmental stipulation and realization of daylight curing on geopolymer concrete. In useful, heat curing is not apt during assembly and is uneconomical. To surmount these difficulty, we wish the daylight curing. The results compared cement concrete and geopolymer concrete under daylight curing. mix up fraction of cement concrete is under the course of action of IS 10262-1982 using M25 grade concrete mix ratio cement: fine aggregate: coarse aggregate (1:1:2.70) and water cement share of 0.40. Geopolymer concrete unite proportion under “Modified strategy of geopolymer concrete” using M25 grade and 12M mix ratio fly ash: fine aggregate: coarse aggregate (1:1.54:3.43) and alkaline solution fly ash part of 0.55. Concrete cubes of size 150X150X150mm were geared up and cured under special environmental stipulation. The compressive potency was founded out at 3, 7,14,21,28 days. From the upshot, the geopolymer concrete attains the compressive strength without hydro-curing. The M25 grade geopolymer solid attains its target strength within 14 days of daylight curing.
