Use of geopolymer concrete for a cleaner and sustainable environment – A review of mechanical properties and microstructure
Abstract
Abstract Geopolymer concrete (GPC) has been researched during the past few decades as an alternative to sustainable construction materials, which can minimize CO2 emission for its use of industry by-products. Past researches on GPC show that it can be suitable for the structural applications, with a workable slump, and comparable grade of strength to ordinary Portland cement concrete. In this review paper, the mix design, mechanical properties, durability and microstructure of GPC have been discussed to figure out and report the last data and information regarding geopolymer concrete. In addition to that, the microstructure of GPC and OPC concrete have been investigated to understand the internal structure of GPC and evaluate its engineering properties such as strength and durability etc. Review of literature revealed that the production of geopolymer concrete requires great care and correct material composition. During the activation process in making the geopolymer, high alkalinity also requires safety risk and enhanced energy consumption and generation of greenhouse gases. Furthermore, the production of GPC is also affected by the curing time and curing temperature. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop user-friendly design geopolymer concrete procedure/code that can be used in a variety of construction areas. In summary, this literature review offers guidance for civil engineers and industrial community in future researches regarding geopolymer concrete.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
