Concrete is most commonly used in construction. The OPC releases CO2, consumes natural resources like shale, sandstone and limestone, require more energy during production. The CO2 produced one ton for every ton of OPC produced due to the calcination of limestone and combustion of fossil fuel. Cement is totally replaced by pozzolanic material that is rich in silica and alumina and activated by alkaline liquid to act as binder in concrete by means of polymer chains. These alkaline liquids are NaOH, Na2Sio3. The foundry sand is also a waste byproduct of metal foundries. We have partially replaced the sand with foundry sand. The compressive strength is carried out by Compressive Testing Machine at 7 and 28 days. This paper shows the effect of maintaining various temperatures on geo-polymer concrete by utilizing waste by products.
