Abstract


To reduce greenhouse gas emissions, efforts are needed to develop eco-friendly construction materials. In geopolymer concrete, a by-product material rich in silicon and aluminum, such as low-calcium (American Society for Testing and Materials 618 Class F) fly ash, is chemically activated by a high-alkaline solution to form a paste that binds the loose coarse and fine aggregates, and other unreacted materials in the mixture. The test results show the effects of various parameters on the properties of geopolymer concrete. The application of geopolymer concrete and future research needs are also identified.
