Geopolymer Concrete is a new innovative type ofconcrete, and it is used widely in the construction industries. Thistype of concrete comes into place due to reduced cement contentusage in the construction of structures. Already we are usingcement as a binding material widely in the construction sector,but the problem is due to the cement content Co2 emissions aremainly produced and one more problem is greenhouse gases areincreasing rapidly during the manufacturing of cement. Thenafter a lot of researchers, finally we got a geopolymer as areplacement for cement. By replacing cement content withgeopolymer, we can reduce the cost of construction and reuse thestructural materials. So, this type of concrete is different fromstandard conventional concrete. We can minimize Co2 andgreenhouse gases’ problem in the atmosphere and make thestructure an environmentally friendly solution. So, this type ofconcrete is very famous in the construction industry, and thereare benefits also excellent. So, it can be used widely inconstruction sectors worldwide. This paper may help understandGeopolymer Concrete for everyone quickly. It gives a quickreview of the Geopolymer Concrete.
