Experimental analysis of the mechanical properties of concrete using alternative binding agents

Civil Engineering Design, vol. 2, pp. 177–181

Abstract

Abstract Concrete is a building material that is widely used worldwide. The main ingredient in concrete is cement, which causes high CO2 emissions into the atmosphere. An alternative to conventional cement‐based concrete is geopolymer concrete. This material is inadequately researched to be used as a building material. In this work, mechanical properties of geopolymer‐based concrete are investigated to estimate its potential in construction industry.
