The world is in quest of innovative and ecological material for erection of buildings due to the amplified ultimatum and unjustified effects of the traditional building materials. The traditional building material such as Portland cement, river sand, blue metal, clay bricks etc. are in practice today. Between these materials, the manufacture of cement embraces a long tiresome process. It also ingests high energy proficiency and crops a lot of carbon dioxide to the atmosphere, which is a principal contributor to ecological inequity by increasing global warming. To overcome these hitch, a novel material so-called ferrogeopolymer is used to create slab panels. Ferrogeopolymer is a combination of geopolymer mortar and different forms of steel mesh as the reinforcement material. In this research ordinary Portland cement is completely replaced by fly ash as a binding material. Alkaline solution is used to enhance the binding property of fly ash. Different forms of steel meshes, such as square woven, square welded and chicken meshes are used. Ferrogeopolymer slab panels of size 1100mm x 350mm x 40mm are cast and tested. The crack behaviour, ductility and load carrying capacity of the slab panels are found, and the test outcomes are adequate.
