This paper presents the results of the experimental investigations carried out to determine the flexural behavior of geopolymer concrete beams of various grades. The beams were designed as under reinforced with tensile reinforcement ratios 1.25% and 1.80%. The beams were tested under two point static loading. Performance aspects such as load carrying capacity, moments, deflections and the failure modes were studied for the geopolymer concrete beams. Also, an analytical model was developed using finite element analysis software (ANSYS 14.5) from the experimental investigations. The test results showed that the geopolymer concrete exhibits better performance.
