Abstract - The major problem that the earth facing today is
the environmental pollution. Within the housing industry
mainly the assembly of Portland cement will causes the
emission of pollutants ends up in environmental pollution.
Globally, the assembly of cement contributes a minimum of 5
to 7% of CO2. We can reduce the pollution effect on
environment, by increasing the usage of commercial products
in our housing industry. This work carried on studies of
temperature effect on strength of geopolymer concrete using
quarry dust as fine aggregate. Geo-polymer concrete is
manufactured class F fly ash and ground granulated blast
furnace slag (GGBS) in 75% : 25% proportion. Sodium silicate
solution and sodium hydroxide solution used as alkaline
activator. Cubes of size 150mmX150mmX150mm were made
at solution to ash ratio of 0.35. All specimens were cured in
oven at 50

C for different molarity
5M, 7M, 9M for a period of 20 hours. After oven curing, cubes
moved to temperature for curing period. The slump cone test
was carried to review the workability of concrete. After curing
period of 7 days and 28 days UPV test and compressive test
were performed. Concluded that different molarity GPC attains
maximum strength at different temperature conditions. Test
results show that the 5M, 7M and 9M GPC has optimum
temperature of 70

1.INTRODUCTION
Geopolymer concrete is associate unindustrialized material
goes to be a revolution at intervals the analysis field and
conjointly at intervals the development business. Increase of
cement demand winds up within the increase of production
of cement. Cement is that the foremost material from the
concrete industry throughout the planet. Day by day, the
need of cement at intervals the concrete business and at
intervals the event field is increasing quite alarmingly. To
overcome the greenhouse gas drawback towards
atmosphere, Davidovits Joseph in 1978 introduced new kind
of concrete named as Geopolymer concrete. Geopolymer
cement might even be a binding system that hardens at
temperature. Geopolymer concrete is eco-friendly
construction material associated an alternate to hydraulic
cement. Geopolymer binders are found to be the simplest
alternate to cement binders. Use of geopolymer reduces the
demand of hydraulic cement that is responsible for high
dioxide emission. Geopolymer concretes are cement less
concrete that utilize by product materials like ash at
intervals the presence of base forming resolution to produce
binders.
2.LITERATURE REVIEW
Geopolymer concrete was introduced by Davidovits Joseph in
1978. The cement is primary binding material in the concrete.
As the increase in demand of cement, results in increase of
production of cement which results emission of carbon
dioxide in greater quantity into environment causing global
warming. To overcome this issue, Davidovits Joseph from his
research introduced geopolymers which are rich in silica and
alumina containing cementitious properties. This
geopolymers are wastages from chemical, thermal and steel
plant industries. This geopolymers are used as primary
binding material by replacing cement in concrete. This
concrete known as geopolymer concrete. Geopolymer
concrete has greater strength, durability, fire resistance and
many advantages compare to normal conventional concrete.
Generally, strength of geopolymer concrete is higher than
normal concrete. Geopolymer concrete was manufactured
replacing cement with fly ash, GGBS and other cementitious
material.
3.EXPERIMENTAL STUDY
In this study mainly explains about the effect of
geopolymer concrete attains smart strength beneath
temperature condition. Once cured at warm temperature
conditions the strength of geopolymer concrete will increase.
Typically, ordinary hydraulic cement is cured by water
treatment methodology. Geopolymer concrete exhibits
distinctive nature beneath temperature impact. The base-
forming resolution act as accelerator in geopolymer concrete
once exposure in temperature. Geopolymer concrete attain
strength >70 N/mm2 beneath warm temperature conditions.
Geopolymer concrete can attain higher strength in one day.
Increase in strength, durability, heat resistance once
geopolymer concrete cured at warm temperature conditions.
