摘要：Concrete is one of the most widely used construction material, it is usually associated with Portland cement as the primary binder. The production of one tonne of cement emits approximately one tonne of carbon -di-oxide in to the atmosphere which contributes to the global warming. On the other hand huge volume of fly ash is disposed in to the landfill which affects the surface bodies of fresh water and aquifers. An effort in this regard is the development of Geop olymer concrete. In this work low calcium fly ash based geopolymer is used as the binder instead of Portland cement paste to produce concrete. This paper presents the results of an experimental program on the mechanical properties of Geopolymer Concrete Composites (GPCC) containing Fly ash (FA), alkaline liquids and glass fibres. Alkaline liquid to fly ash ratio was fixed as 0.4 with 100% replacement of OPC. Glass fibres were added to the mix in 0.01%, 0.02% and 0.03% by volume of concrete. Based on the test results, the Geopolymer concrete composites have relatively higher strength in short curing time (one day) than the Geopolymer concrete and ordinary Portland cement concrete.
