A state-of-the-art review on the mechanical behaviours of GGBFS concrete for sustainable development

Abstract

Low carbon concretes like geopolymer concrete have been developed as a result of the demand for ecologically friendly and environmentally sustainable concrete for building. Concrete replaced with geopolymer utilizing fly ash and slag as part of its combination, cement made from industrial waste materials the process of geopolymerization only requires a modest amount of alkali activator. There are numerous numbers of studies that have been done based on the mix ratio, workability, material characteristics and strength of geopolymer concrete (GPC) for the previous years. As a result, this review adheres to the GPC that was thoroughly investigated using Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews (PRISMA). This study's goal is to examine the various geopolymer concrete (GPC) precursors, applications, and contemporary synthetic procedures in addition to the mechanical and physical aspects of GPC made from diverse wastes. The review also goes into great detail about how GPC helps achieve the goals for sustainable development that many experts have put forward. Additionally, it has been stated that the development of a circular economy based on the GPC will offer suggestions and opportunities for GPC research and technology.
