Geopolymer Concrete: An Innovative Solution for Sustainable Construction

The building industry has been looking for environmentally friendly substitutes for conventional materials recently.

Geopolymer concrete is one such invention, and it has a number of positive environmental and functional effects.

An alternative to conventional Portland cement concrete is geopolymer concrete.

It is a kind of cementitious substance that substitutes natural or industrial byproducts for cement as a binder.

Fly ash or crushed granulated blast furnace slag are two examples of

chemically active aluminosilicate minerals that are used as the binder in geopolymer concrete.

To create a hardened binder, these substances react with alkaline activators, usually sodium- or potassium-silicate solutions.
