Geo-polymer concrete (GPC) is the perfect solution to replace the conventional concrete making use of unwanted materials such as fly ash, GGBS, Alccofine etc.,. It is noted that many researchers have worked on geopolymer concrete and a tremendous work is going on too, but unlike conventional concrete there is no proper methodology available to follow. GPC has preferable mechanical properties when differentiate to conventional concrete. Replacing GGBS and alccofine with fly ash upto some extend can eliminate oven curing and it becomes suitable to use ambient curing conditions effectively. and This study deals with different proportion of various source materials and concludes at which proportion and concentration the compressive strength and workability is higher. For Alccofine combination with fly ash gives better results than GGBS combination with fly ash but if economy is the criteria alccofine is not preferable as it is costlier than that of GGBS.
