Geopolymer concrete (GPC) is been known as a sustainable alternative to Portland cement concrete that emits high CO2 emission rate. The current application of GPC in structural components is limited and thus attempt has been to study the properties of geopolymer concrete in reinforced structures. The paper combines the application of geopolymer concrete to investigate the structural behaviour of reinforced members. The use of flyash along with sodium hydroxide with 10 M and sodium silicate solutions are combined to create geopolymer concrete. This paper mainly focuses on reinforced geopolymer concrete beams and the objective is to experimentally study the compressive and flexural strength. The experimental study includes investigation of nine geopolymer cubes of 150x150x150mm for compressive testing at an age of 7, 14 and 28 days. The final results of geopolymer cubes were 20.1Mpa, 28.5Mpa and 44.8Mpa respectively. The flexural behaviour of three geopolymer beams over an effective span of 700x150x150mm were tested on two-point load test to determine the deflection of the beams. The load deflection characteristics obtained from RCC beams and Geopolymer beams showed almost similar curvature. Also, NDT testing was done on the beams to understand the quality of geopolymer concrete. The rebound hammer test of geopolymer beam suggested that the rebound hammer number was 48 which indicated very good hard layer.
