Since it uses industrial byproducts, geopolymer concrete (GPC) has been studied as a sustainable construction material option that can reduce CO2 emissions. Studies done in the past on GPC demonstrate that it may be used structurally, has a workable slump, and has a similar strength grade to regular Portland cement concrete. In order to identify and present the most recent data and information on geopolymer concrete, this study has examined the mix design, mechanical properties, durability, and microstructure of GPC. An increased focus on energy efficiency and environmental protection has prompted research into alternate building materials. Reducing greenhouse gas emissions and lowering the amount of energy needed for material production are two important objectives for such investigations. Concrete is used more than water anywhere in the world. Traditionally, the main binder for creating concrete has been ordinary Portland Cement (OPC). At least 5 to 7 percent of CO2 produced worldwide comes from the manufacturing of cement. The proper disposal of fly ash, a hazardous waste product created by thermal power plants through combustion, is another significant environmental issue. This study gives details about the experimental investigation of geopolymer concrete. It shows that some parameter where fixed and the two parameter such as water to binder ratio and zones of sand was varied and from that the one having max compressive strength parameter were fixed. After fixing the parameters durability test of on geopolymer concrete of rapid chlorine penetration test and acid attack test was conducted and at last XRD test was conducted to known the microstructural investigation on geopolymer concrete. The mix design, mechanical characteristics, durability, and microstructure of GPC have all been studied in this study.
