REVIEW ON GEOPOLYMER CONCRETE AN ECO-FRIENDLY SOLUTION

The eco-friendly concept in concrete evolved from the desire of decent intellectuals of developing nations to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and need to conserve the resources in nature such as limestone, rocks, river sand etc. which are used for the expansion of - infrastructure for human beings, further to enhance the utilisation of waste materials that lead to air, land and water pollution. Geopolymer concrete (GPC) is a unique construction material that is favourable to the environment which promotes sustainable development and a long life cycle without destruction of natural resources. Environmental, technical and economic benefits have increased the demand of eco-friendly concrete. The current example of investigation is in progress to create geopolymer structures that advance a lower epitomized energy, lower carbon dioxide fastener and that have properties like Portland concrete. It is a versatile material being used for railroad sleepers, utility poles, footways, marine structures etc. This paper reviews the research done by the scientists globally in the domain of materials made of GPC and investigates some of their qualities, limitations and possible applications
