This chapter introduces the concept of geopolymer concrete, an innovative and remarkable alternative material known for its exceptional resistance against corrosion. The primary focus of this exploration is to evaluate the ability of geopolymer concrete to withstand corrosive environments, while also conducting a comprehensive examination of the various types of resins employed for its protection. Throughout the chapter, there is an in-depth discussion on the composition of geopolymer materials, which includes notable elements such as fly ash (FA), palm oil fuel ash (POFA), kaolin, metakaolin, and dolomite. These materials play a pivotal role in the geopolymerization process, and their chemical composition and interactions are thoroughly explored and analyzed. By explaining the complexities of geopolymer concrete, this chapter provides valuable insights into its remarkable corrosion resistance. Furthermore, the chapter emphasizes the significance of activators and their profound influence on the properties of geopolymer materials. Additionally, it explores a range of factors that impact the properties of geopolymer concrete, including the selection of raw materials, the precise conditions governing the curing process, the choice of aggregates, and the incorporation of additives, nanomaterials, and fibers. Moreover, the chapter highlights various applications of geopolymer concrete. Overall, this chapter provides a comprehensive understanding of geopolymer concrete, examining the role of activators, analyzing influential factors, and exploring its diverse range of applications in construction and material engineering.
