Concrete is the most commonly used construction material. Customarily, concrete is produced by using Ordinary Portland Cement as a binder a highly energy intensive product which causes pollution to the environment due to the emission of carbon dioxide. Attempts to reduce the use of Portland cement in concrete are receiving much attention due to the environment related. Geopolymer concrete is a new material that does not need the presence of Portland cement as a binder. Research in the field and publications in this field of geopolymer binders, states that this new material is highly potential to replace an alternative to Portland cement. The Durability of these materials is better than OPC which is the main advantage as such it can be replaced. Considering the increasing demand for developing alternative construction materials, due to the growing environmental concerns, this paper discusses the feasibility of alkali activated geo-polymer concrete, as a future construction material. The main objective of this study involves observation of strength behaviours of the fresh fly ash-based and ggbs geo-polymer concrete, understanding the basic mixture proportioning of fly ash-based geopolymer concrete and evaluating various economic considerations
