A sustainable approach to geopolymer concrete utilizing waste materials including plastic waste

The purpose of this study is to focus Geopolymer concrete may replace Portland cement-based concrete due to its lower carbon footprint and longer lifespan. This review discusses adding ground granulated blast furnace slag(GGBFS), fly ash, silica fume, rice husk ash, metakaolin, and plastic waste to geopolymer concrete. These materials are readily available, react well with pozzolans, and may reduce garbage. This study examines the effect of these additional cementitious components on the fresh and hardened properties of geopolymer concrete. The effect of varying mix proportions, curing regimens, and activators on workability, setting time, compressive strength and flexural strength is studied. As to evaluate the efficacy of the geo-polymer concrete, numerous methods of testing and analysis approaches are discussed. The review report also talks about how using these ingredients to make geopolymer concrete is good for the earth. Using industrial by-products like fly ash, rice husk ash, metakaolin, silica fume, and GGBS can reduce the damage that making concrete does to the earth by a lot. Adding plastic trash also helps deal with the growing problem of plastic waste by giving people a safe way to get rid of it. Also mentioned are the problems and limits of using these materials in geopolymer concrete. Variability in source materials, optimization of mix design, long-term performance, and standardization of testing methods are talked about and can help guide future study and development in the field. The review paper concludes by discussing rice husk ash, fly ash, metakaolin, GGBS, silica fume, and plastic waste in geopolymer concrete. It shows how these components could improve geopolymer concrete while reducing its environmental impact. This review will educate individuals about geopolymer concrete technology and stimulate greener construction research.
