  • Abstract:
  • Geopolymer concrete (GPC) is a novel construction material with diverse chemical compositions and reactions, utilizing pozzolanic materials such as fly ash, GGBFS, and rice husk ash as binding agents due to their high silica and alumina content. GPC offers economic benefits, low energy consumption, thermal stability, easy workability, eco-friendliness, and durability. By leveraging industrial waste like slag, fly ash, and rice husk ash, GPC reduces carbon footprints significantly compared to traditional cement production, thereby contributing to environmental sustainability. It serves as a promising alternative to Portland cement concrete, offering comparable physical, mechanical, and durability properties while addressing the need for sustainable development in the Indian construction sector. It can be concluded from the investigation that the geopolymer samples have shown better outcomes compared to conventional concrete samples. Higher mechanical values were observed at a mix proportion of 70% of FA and 30% of GGBFS-based geopolymer concrete.
