Abstract : Geopolymer concrete, an innovative material, that is characterized by long chains or networks of inorganic molecules, is a potential alternative to conventional Portland cement concrete. It relies on minimally processed natural materials or industrial byproducts to significantly reduce its carbon footprint. However, the development of this material is still in its infancy, and a number of advancements are still needed. The experimental works involve conducting compressive strength, flexural strength and modulus of elasticity tests on low calcium fly ash based Geopolymer concrete. The Geopolymer concrete was cured under ambient condition. In this study, comparing the experimentally obtained results with the flexural strength and elastic modulus calculated using the recommended relationships from the IS 456 and finds the variation in the data.
