Most of the research works related to GPC have been made on fly ash based
Geopolymers. In this present study, industrial waste which is GGBS and Phosphogypsum
were used as source materials for GPC. The tested scientific results of this investigation
may provide useful data on the strength and durability of geopolymer concrete that has
been developed from GGBS and Phosphogypsum, which are essentially industrial by-
products. It will also help in changing the perception of conventional concrete and also a
broader recognition of this material in practical applications.
The objective of the present study was to develop geopolymer concrete mixtures using
GGBS and Phosphogypsum. This investigation utilized Flyash as the base material for
making the control geopolymer concrete. Then Phosphogypsum and GGBS was used to
replace to Fly ash in the mix in four different proportions, 2.5,5,7.5,10% these specimens
were placed in oven at the temperature 60 oC for 24 hours and specimens are placed in 5%
concentrated solution of HCl and MgSO 4 for 30,60,90 days and measure the strength and
durability properties of the specimens.
