Abstract |
|
The production of Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) causes drastic effects on the environment with the emission of CO2 which could be avoided by the use of geopolymer concrete (GPC). It fully replaces OPC in the concrete by other aluminosilicate materials such as fly ash, metakaolin, GGBS and so on, along with the addition of alkaline solutions to it for the commencement of geopolymerisation. Over the years not only fly ash, but also various materials has been used in the manufacture of GPC with improved properties. This paper reviews the various types of GPCs and their properties to suit the needs of the construction industry. |
