Self-compacting Geopolymer Concrete: A Critical Review
Concrete, a widely utilized substance second only to water in terms of usage, necessitates an excess of Portland cement, a notable energy consumer that releases substantial amounts of CO2 emissions. Geopolymer concrete, an exceptional concrete variant, mitigates said emissions and exhibits enhanced durability. The process depends on the utilization of marginally treated natural resources or industrial wastes that possess elevated levels of alumina and silica, hence reducing carbon footprints. The proper management and disposal of these waste materials can effectively mitigate the issue of land pollution. The invention of SCGC was driven by the necessity to solve the failure problem coming from inadequate compaction. The SCGC undergoes self-compaction due to its inherent weight, obviating the requirement for further compaction measures. This study comprehensively examines the impact of many parameters on the machinability and mechanical characteristics of SCGC while also identifying areas of research that have not been adequately addressed and suggesting potential avenues for further investigation. The current body of literature provides evidence in favour of the utilization of sustainable concrete with ground granulated blast furnace slag (SCGC) as opposed to conventional concrete, primarily due to its reduced environmental footprint, improved waste management, and enhanced resource preservation. The current body of literature provides evidence of substituting conventional concrete with sustainable concrete materials, such as SCGC.
