•GGBFS was added in fly ash geopolymer concrete (GPC) to enable ambient curing.•Strength increased with the increase of GGBFS and reduction of activating liquid.•Heat-cured and ambient-cured GPC were compared with water-cured OPC concrete.•Tensile strengths given by codes are similar for ambient-cur...
