Abstract
Initial researches on geopolymer concrete utilized fly ash as a major source of binding material, which required heat curing for hardening. This became a major drawback for the application of this type of concrete in in-situ conditions. The goal of the current study was to develop fly ash-based geopolymers that could cure without the use of high heat. The findings indicate that utilizing furnace slag as a binder, replacing a certain percentage of fly ash can be helpful in ambient curing may be suited for acceptable workability, setting time and compressive strength. The addition of GGBS to Class F fly ash aided in achieving setting times and compressive strengths that were equivalent to conventional Portland cement (OPC).
