This research presents a research review on the comparison of Geopolymer concrete with Ordinary cement concrete. Now a day the world is in need of many types of improvements in every field of science. Especially, in order to mere the demand of the advancements. In the field of civil engineering, advancements in the concrete technology is an area in which many researchers are working on. Everybody in the universe emits appropriate amount of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere called as the carbon foot print. But the carbon foot print of the cement is comparatively more than the remaining aspects. As the concrete is one of the widely used construction material, manufacture of concrete results in CO2 emissions and hence pollution in the universe results in the global warming problem. So there has evolved the geo polymer concrete called as green concrete. The Geopolymer materials is an environmental friendly construction material. This study is based on the use of Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag (GGBS) in synthesizing cement free geo polymer concrete. The Geopolymer concrete is manufactured by polymerization of GGBS slag, Silica fumes with alkali activator fluid (Sodium silicate and sodium hydroxide). Further based on this review, later an experimental study was performed on the application of the reinforced geo polymer beams. Tests will be performed in order to show whether they follow any pattern in their properties as that of a normal cement concrete, these geo polymer beams will be tested for the Flexural strength, shear strength and the characteristic compressive strength followed by the crack width patterns to inter relate with the normal RCC beams. Because, we have conventional code of practice for ordinary reinforced cement concrete where as we do not have for the geo polymer concrete in order to fetch some relation for both the type of concretes whether it becomes overestimate or under estimate. The study is conducted to compare the similarity (if any) between GPC and OPCC on the mechanical properties mainly like flexure, shear, crack width, crack pattern, residual load, Residual strength etc… are considered for the comparison. The objective of the study is to assess if the code applicable for normal RCC are also applicable for Geopolymer concrete.
