Geopolymer Binder for the Production of Sustainable alternative Building Materials
Session
Civil Engineering, Infrastructure and Environment
Description
The climate change and limited resources are important challenge of Building sector. Due to the relatively low CO2 emissions and possibility to reduce the environmental impact geopolymers are considered as environmentally friendly substitute for Portland cement. Geopolymers are being studied as materials for use in construction because of their relatively high mechanical strength, good volumetric stability and high resistance to fire and chemical attack. Although geopolymers have gained popularity, they differ in their structural design and technology comparing to traditional building materials, making it important to understand the influence of different factors (e.g., composition, production conditions, zeolite content) on the properties of geopolymers.
Keywords:
geopolymer binder; alternative building materials; sustainability.
