Alkaline solutions induce the Si and Al atoms in the
source materials example fly ash , to dissolve.
° Gel formation is assisted by applying heat.
¢ Gel binds the aggregates ,and the unreacted source
material to form the Geopolymer concrete.

* Lack of awareness. —COMPRESSIVE STRENGTH
The compressive strength of GEOPOLYMER concrete is
about 1.5 times more than that of the compressive
strength with the ordinary Portland cement concrete,
for the same mix.
* Similarly the Geopolymer Concrete showed good
workability as of the ordinary Portland Cement
Concrete.
