Geopolymer concrete is a concrete with a non organic alumina-silicate binder system corresponding to thehydrated calcium silicate binder system of concrete. It acquires the advantage of rapid strength gain, worthy mechanicaland durability properties, averted water curing. In addition to these aspects they are eco-friendly and competent of beingsustained substitute to the ordinary Portland cement but it exhibits the failure nature homologous to brittle solids. Thisrestriction may be overcome by fibre reinforcement to intensify their flexural strength. This paper determining theexperimental examination conducted on mechanical properties of geopolymer concrete (GPC) and ordinary Portlandcement concrete (OPCC). A total of twelve mixes were cast, in which six mixes were of GPC and six mixes were ofOPCC with varying percentages of glass fibres from 0,0.5,1,1.5,2 and 2.5 by weigh fraction of binder. The present paperillustrates the relative study on the mechanical properties of OPCC and GPC accompanied with glass fibres.
