Ordinary Portland cement (OPC) production is boosting global warming very speedily. Therefore, geopolymer concrete is receiving huge attention as an alternative to traditional concrete because it develops without the use of OPC. Majority of the previous publications suggest that high-temperature curing required to gain higher mechanical strength and better durability properties, which is not feasible for cast-in-situ work. This obstacle has been overcome by adding calcium oxide and reducing silicon dioxide in the geopolymer. In addition, geopolymers also confront many other problems such as cost of construction, efflorescence and utilization of harmful chemical etc. that can’t be easily overcome. This literature makes an effort to identify some hurdles with the geopolymer composite in the Indian scenario. It concludes geopolymer composites will take some more time to completely replace conventional composites and requires some more improvement.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
