In this study, geopolymer concrete is prepared by using 100% Ground Granulated Blast furnace Slag (GGBS). Then the GGBS is replaced by Metakaolin from 0 to 25% with the variation of 5% for preparing the specimens. The activator solution consists of Sodium hydroxide of 12 Molarity and sodium silicate in the ratio of 1: 2.5. 550kg/m3 of GGBS is used in this study. A carboxylic based admixture called La Hypercrete S25 is added in the mix by 1% of the weight of GGBS to increase the workability. The studies conducted on the specimens are compression test, split tensile test and flexure test. For conducting the compression test, 54 concrete cubes of size 100mm x 100mm x 100mm are cast for testing at 7, 14 and 28 days. For splitting tensile strength, 54 concrete cylinders with 100 mm dia and 200 mm height are cast for testing at 7, 14 and 28 days. The flexure test specimens are beams of 500 mm length and 100mm x 100mm in cross section are cast. These are 54 in numbers .Specimens are cast by replacing the GGBS by Metakaolin in 5, 10, 15, 20 and 25%. All the specimens are cured for 7, 14 and 28 days and tested for compression, split tensile and flexure. The test results reveal that the strengths are gradually increasing for 5, 10 and 15% replacement of GGBS by Metakaolin and give the highest value for 20% in all the tests. It also shows further increased replacements reduces the test values. It proves that geopolymer concrete performs well in strength properties with GGBS and Metakaolin.
