The major problem in the world is facing the environmental pollution. In the construction industry mainlythe production of Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) will causes the emission of pollutants as CO2 results environmentalpollution. We can increasing the usage of industrial by-products in our construction industry and reduce the pollutioneffect on environment. This paper discusses various combinations of Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag (GGBFS)and Aggregate Quarry Dust (AQD) as source materials (which is the by-product of steel industries and Quarry processrespectively), to produce geo-polymer concrete at ambient temperature. It has been generally accepted that elevatedtemperature is required for polymerization process and producing geo-polymer concrete which is consider a drawbackaffecting its application. In this paper variation of source materials i.e. replacement of GGBFS with AQD as 10%interval is done to achieve compressive strength for medium grade of concrete of M-25. Oven and ambient curing is donefor that. It is found that geo-polymer concrete with GGBFS in AQD as increases it gains strength and shows goodstrength at 3,7 and 28 days even at ambient curing with increase in GGBFS content. Rate of gain of strength is slower atambient temperature while only slag based geo-polymer concrete has higher strength at oven curing.
