Abstracts : The development of infrastructure is
increasing rapidly with an increase in the demand if
concrete, where the primary binding material is
cement. There are many adverse environmental issues
caused by the production of cement. There is a need of
finding alternatives for cement which also works like a
binder. Geopolymer has been introduced in the
research fields with an urge to overcome the demerits
and adverse environmental issues caused by
conventional concrete. This paper makes an effort to
achieve the desired strength of Geopolymer concrete
at normal room temperature by addition of Lime in the
geopolymer concrete. In this experimental
investigation Geopolymer concrete is produced for two
different grades with fly ash as the binding material,
Sodium Hydroxide and Sodium Silicate as the
activators with 16Mole, aggregates and fine sand
similar to that used for conventional concrete, adding
Lime powder which when reacts with water produces
an additional amount of heat (process being
exothermic) which will help the polymerization
process to develop at lower temperatures. Specimens
casted with the mention specifications will be curing at
normal room temperature
