Abstract
This project investigates the mechanical performance and sustainability potential of
geopolymer concrete (GPC) produced using industrial by-products--fly ash and Ground
Granulated Blast Furnace Slag (GGBS)--as an alternative to conventional Ordinary
Portland Cement (OPC). In light of the urgent need to reduce carbon emissions from the
construction industry, the study explores geopolymer technology as a viable pathway to
green construction. The research involved preparing five different mix proportions of fly
ash and GGBS (100:0, 75:25, 50:50, 25:75, and 0:100), activated using sodium silicate
solution alone, under ambient curing conditions.
Compressive strength of the mixes was tested at 3, 7, and 28 days. Results revealed that
mixes with higher GGBS content significantly improved early-age strength due to its
calcium-rich composition, while fly ash contributed to strength at later stages. The findings
underscore the importance of optimizing binder combinations for specific performance
goals. The geopolymer mixes showed promising strength development without the need for
thermal curing, making them suitable for practical construction scenarios, especially in
warm climates.
This work directly contributes to several United Nations Sustainable Development Goals
(SDGs): SDG 9 (Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure) through development of
innovative materials; SDG 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities) by promoting eco-
friendly construction solutions; SDG 12 (Responsible Consumption and Production) by
utilizing industrial waste; and SDG 13 (Climate Action) through the reduction of CO?
emissions associated with cement production.
The study confirms that geopolymer concrete, based solely on sodium silicate-activated fly
ash and GGBS, presents a practical and sustainable alternative to OPC. Future work may
focus on exploring durability aspects and extending the use of other local industrial wastes,
further reinforcing its role in a circular economy framework.
