Sustainable Development And Performance Evaluation Of Geopolymer Concrete (GPC): A Comprehensive Study
GPC presents an environmentally friendly substitute for conventional OPC concrete that makes use of industrial byproducts such fly ash and GGBS to significantly reduce CO2 emissions. This study investigates GPC material properties, mix design, and performance, emphasizing its superior mechanical strength, durability, and environmental benefits. Various GPC mixtures were evaluated using compressive and tensile strength tests, with results indicating enhanced performance with increased sodium hydroxide molarity and the inclusion of GGBS. Effective curing methods, including ambient and oven curing, were employed, demonstrating GPC viability in modern construction. The findings support GPC potential as a robust, eco-friendly building material.
