Geopolymer concrete (GPC’s) are a new class of concrete based on a organic alumina-Silicate bindersystem compared to the hydrated calcium silicate binder system of concrete . They possess the advantages of rapidstrength gain, elimination of water curing, good mechanical and durability properties and are additionally eco-friendlyand sustainable alternative to ordinary Portland cement (OPC).The dimensions of the GPC beams are 100mm x 100mmx 1500mm. The width is varied as 100mm, 125mm and 150mm and depth is varied as 150mm , 250mm and 350 mm Theeffective span of the beam is 1400 mm. The beams have been designed to be critical in shear as per IS456-2000provisions. The specimens were made considering fly-ash and GGBS as binder for 7 day strength of 60MPA. The mainparameter which is considered is the variation of the width and depth . All the beams were cured under Ambient Curingfor a period of 7 day . The beams were tested under a 1000KN servo-controlled hydraulic actuator. For all the beams themaximum load and deflection were in the range of 35KN to 172 KN and 16mm to 12mm respectively.
