1.8 HOT CURING
Hot curing is a process for hardening concrete, cement,
and mortar that involves exposure to warm air. Materials
subjected to this hardening technique tend to cure more
uniformly and also much more quickly than those
hardened via other processes. There are some
disadvantages to this process that must be considered
before deciding to use it for curing, and there may be
certain applications where steam curing is not
appropriate.

2. MATERIALS USED
2.1 FLY ASH
Fly ash is the waste obtained as a residue from burning
of coal in furnaces and locomotives. It is obtained in the
form of powder. It is a good pozzalona The colour of fly
ash is either grey or blackish grey.

5. CONCLUSION
The Optimum compressive strength of GPC specimens
(40% of GGBS replacement by flyash) was found to be
58.50Mpa for 28 days after hot curing compare with
30%, 40%, 50%, 60% of GGBS. The Optimum Split
tensile strength of GPC specimens (40% of GGBS
replacement by flyash) was found to be 11.50Mpa for 28
days after hot curing compare with 30%, 40%, 50%,
60% of GGBS. The Optimum Flexural strength of GPC
specimens (40% of GGBS replacement by flyash) was
found to be 13.50Mpa for 28 days after hot curing
compare with 30%, 40%, 50%, 60% of GGBS.
Geopolymer concrete is more environmental friendly
and has the potential to replace ordinary Portland cement
concrete in many applications such as precast units. It is
proposed to study the behaviour of Steel fibre and
GGBS in Geopolymer Concrete. It is suggested that to
cast and test the Structural elements with the Optimum
mix propotional of above high performance GPC where
made, this research work should be satisfied.
