Abstract: One of the alternative User friendly materials in place of conventional concrete is geopolymer concrete with same effect. Utilization of raw materials is less in geopolymer binders as well as decreases the emission of carbon dioxide. With these reasons most of the researchers are doing work on these types of resins to create eco-friendly accommodation. This paper presents the historic expansion of alkali-activated resin, the process of geopolymerization and its importance. In this paper integrated the engineering behaviour of flyash and GGBS synthesized binder at different mix proportions as well as at dissimilar curing environments and these properties are compared with conventional concrete. Positive results are appeared at higher percentage of GGBS (70%) compared to all other proportions. It was found that geopolymer concrete is gaining almost 25-30 MPa strength in 24 hours of sunlight curing, but to achieve same strength more than 28 days curing required in Conventional concrete.
