ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

I would like to thank, Dr.G.Unnikrishnan M., for helping and guiding me throughout,
and thereby leading me to an important understanding of strength properties of fly ash based
geopolymer concrete containing bottom ash.
I am grateful to the Digital Library at National Institute of Technology Calicut for
providing access to a large number of books and journals which formed the foundation of this
report.
I thank my friends and classmates for their constant support and inspiration during the
Course of the work.
I thank almighty God for his blessings.
