Abstract: This paper comprises of the experimental study of double skinned (DSCFT) Composite hollow columns using Geopolymer concrete. The diameter-thickness (D/t) ratio and the hollowness ratio were consideredas main parameters in designing the specimens. The Geopolymer Concrete used in this project is the most promising technique. It is composed of fly-ash, fine aggregate, coarse aggregate and alkaline solution. By using large volume of ordinary Portland cement (OPC) concrete, the production of cement increases 3% annually. The production of one ton of cement directly liberates about 1 ton of CO2 and indirectly liberates 0.4 ton of CO2 to atmosphere. Among the greenhouse gases, CO2 contributes about 67% of global warming. In this respect fly ash based geopolymer mortar is highly considerable. But most of the previous works on fly ash-based geopolymers concrete reveals that hardening is due to heat curing, which is considered as a limitation for cast in situ applications at low ambient temperatures. In order to overcome this situation, replacing the Ground blast furnace slag with fly ash for various proportions to achieve geopolymer concrete suitable for curing without elevated heat. The Scope of this project is to find optimization level of Ground Granulated blast furnace slag in geopolymer concrete for curing in ambient condition and to analyze the compressive Strength of optimized GGBS based Geopolymer Concrete filled double skinned steel tube by varying the size of the steel tubes.
