In this research, the effect of a polycarboxylate based superplasticizer on the strength of Geopolymer Concrete (GPC) was investigated. A fixed amount of superplasticizer (1.5 % of Fly Ash weight) was utilized along with alkali activators Sodium Hydroxide (NaOH) and Sodium Silicate (Na2SiO3). The Ultrasonic Pulse Velocity Test determined the strength development of concrete. The quality of the GPC improved when a higher concentration of alkali activator was applied based on the Concrete Quality Designation. In detecting the color development of GPC, samples were put through MATLAB and specimens became lighter as time passes due to dehydration (a process where water escapes from the sample). Stress strain diagrams were generated which generally indicate that GPC specimens are ductile. The researchers were able to assess the workability of the mix designs using a rating from 1 to 5, with 1 being the least workable and 5 being the most workable.
