A STUDY ON PROPERTIES OF GEOPOLYMER CONCRETE BEHAVIOUR

We have great pleasure and sense of happiness in introducing this textbook on " A study on properties of Geopolymer Concretes behaviour". Study and research on this new field of concrete is gaining momentum day by day as the construction industry all over the world is moving towards reducing the carbon footprint by reducing the CO2 emissions. We have explored all possible ways of utilizing Geopolymer concrete from the stage of development to commercialization and durability aspects of geopolymer concretes at elevated temperatures.The text material is presented clearly and interestingly, maintaining the flow in the form of research objectives, need for the study, results of research works and findings and conclusions, which will be greatly appreciated by students and professionals. The strong feature of this book is that it provides very good information in a user-friendly manner which can enable any person without sufficient knowledge in Geopolymer concrete to start up the work and excel in it. As the world's yearly Portland cement production of 4.2 billion mt is found to be responsible for the major CO2 emission of 7 to 8% globally.
