IDEA-11: GEOPOLYMER CONCRETE AS AN ALTERNATIVE FOR CEMENT CONCRETE

PROBLEM:
• Geopolymer concrete as an alternative for cement concrete
We all know that concrete is made up of cement, water, sand, and
aggregates.
• Cement production has a source material called limestone which is
obtained naturally, as an increase in the demand leads to a decrease in
source material called limestone we need an alternative to cement
SOLUTION:
• Geopolymers are a sustainable alternative to Portland cement.
Geopolymers have high mechanical and durable properties. Carbon dioxide
emission in geopolymers is lower than those of OPC. Geopolymer cement
and concrete have superior properties to that of Portland cement and
concrete.
• Geopolymer concrete uses fly ash which is a waste product obtained from
thermal power plants. It can be used as an alternative to cement to make
eco-friendly concrete.
