Global warming is one of the most pronounced terms in this present century. Five to eight percent of theworld’s manmade Greenhouse gas emissions are from the Cement industry itself. Geopolymers are showing greatpotential and several researchers have critically examined the various aspects of their ability as binder system. ThusGeopolymer based Concrete is highly environment friendly and the same time it can be made as high performanceconcrete. The mixes of binder is combined alkaline solution of sodium hydroxide and sodium silicate with groundgranulated blast furnace slag. So in this study an attempt is made to know the strength of geopolymer concrete by addinghooked end steel fiber in the mix . The studies showed the load carrying capacity of most of the GPC mix beams. The acidattack of sulfuric acid is studied to check the durability properties of geopolymer concrete and change in mass ofconcrete. It has been concluded that the steel fiber used in geopolymer concrete upto 1.5% is improved compressivestrength and flexural strength. This paper presents a review of the literature, outlining the various research approachesundertaken in an effort. It is expected that this review will provide a key step in advancing the understanding of thisinnovative construction material.
