摘要:This paper presents a review on strength and durability of Geopolymer concrete. Geopolymer concrete is used as it can be eco-friendly and economic alternative to the ordinary Portland based cement concrete. The Geopolymer concrete was prepared with Fly ash or GGBS in combination with rice husk ash or bagasse ash as the primary binder instead of cement. The effect of curing temperature on the compressive strength of Geopolymer concrete was studied in addition to the flexural and split tensile strengths. The strength characteristic under G40 (which is equivalent to M40 of normal OPC based cement concrete) is considered here for the study. The strength of the concrete namely compressive, split tensile and flexure strength tests were carried out at the age of 7days and 28 days .The results which intern say that the Geopolymer concrete will have more strength than the conventional concrete when temperature curing (600 c - 800 c) is applied on geopolymer concrete. The durability of geopolymer concrete is studied by exposure of geopolymer concrete to acids and sulphates, and it is found that geoplymer concrete shoes more resistance to acid and sulphate attacks compared to conventional concrete.
