Concrete is the most predominantly used construction material in the world. The principal ingredient of concrete, Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) is unfortunately found to be associated with some adverse effects. At the same time, a lot of industrial and agro wastes with inherent cementitious properties are produced abundantly but mostly dumped into landfills. Employing such by-products as alternates for cement has multiple benefits including conservation of environment, sustainability of resources and solving the disposal problem of by-products. One such promising alternative is ‘Geopolymer Concrete’ (GPC) which completely eliminates OPC in its production.
Davidovits coined the term ‘geo-polymer’ in 1978 to describe a family of mineral binders that can be produced from the polymerization reaction between an alkaline liquid and a source material containing silicon (Si) and aluminium (Al). The source materials of geopolymer could be of geological origin like metakaolin or by-product materials like fly ash, Ground Granulated Blast furnace Slag (GGBS), silica fume, rice-husk ash, etc. The alkaline liquid used is a combination of sodium or potassium hydroxide along with sodium or potassium silicate correspondingly. GPC is proven to have superior strength and durability over conventional concrete.
