Abstract
Geopolymer is a new trend in cement industry, traditional cement has prompted several problems related to health and environment due to cement dust and carbon dioxide. Geoplymer, however, has attenuated such problems due to the method of manufacturing and low emission of carbondioxide. This paper examines the ability to form geopolymer cement and the ability to use this cement in the formation of geopolymer concrete in the field. Various papers have been published with concern to the geopolymer cement set the curing in an oven is constraint to the geopolymer cement formation. During this paper are studied in air without any types of curing. Also the improvement of cement by meta koline as a source of aluminium and silica are studied. geopolymer cement based on the slag has been improved as it has been replaced with 10% metakoline. After optimizing the best mix of cement (slag and metakoline). The effect of geopolymer cement content is studied. Results have shown variation in compressive strength related directly to content of geoplymer strength. Water in geopolymer cement is not included in the reaction. So, throughout the paper the sea water is used as an alternative to fresh water. Results have shown an improvement in the compressive strength as compared to the presence of fresh water.
Highlights
Concrete is widely used all over the world because of its versatile application
The results obtained in the present study demonstrate the feasibility of using concrete demolition wastes as precursors to obtain geopolymer cements [10]

Summary
Concrete is widely used all over the world because of its versatile application. The Portland cement (PC) is not considered a friendly environmental material. Parthiban has noted no impact of Chemical Admixture on Compressive Strength but has shown considerable increase in the workability of the concrete. Results indicate that a high amount of slag is present; the compressive strength of 31.85 at 3 days [7]. The variation in GGBFS and fly ash based geopolymer at ambient temperature has shown backbone accretion slowed down after the age of 28 canicule and continues to access at a slower amount until 180 days [8]. Fly ash Geopolymer with replacement GGBFS 30% of total Binder and treatment is, at ambient Temperature, 55 Mpa compressive strength. The results obtained in the present study demonstrate the feasibility of using concrete demolition wastes as precursors to obtain geopolymer cements [10]
