Mortar is the most widely used material, which is durable and reliable material in construction field. The major problem that the world is facing toady is pollution. For production of mortar, large amount of ordinary Portland cement is required. During the production of ordinary Portland cement, the carbon dioxide is emitted highly which further causes the Greenhouse effect and Global Warming. And now days due to constant sand mining the natural Sand is depleting at an alarming rate. So we conducted an experimental investigation to reduce the environment effects, by increasing the usage of industrial by-products like Fly ash and Pond Ash. The Pond ash is a mixture of dry fly ash and wet bottom ash. By open dumping of pond ash around the thermal power stations which affects the lucid ecosystem. For this reason we adopted for partial replacement of fine aggregate with pond ash in geo polymer mortar in which cement is totally replaced with fly ash. The replacement of fine aggregate with pond ash is done volumetrically for minimizing the errors in Mix design. The alkaline liquids that are used in this study of polymerization are Sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and Sodium silicate (Na2SiO3). In our project we investigated the compressive strength of geo polymer mortar for 7Days, 14Days, and 28Days at different molarities (6M, 8M, and 10M) at 80 OC-100 OC in hot oven curing.
