Geopolymer Concrete is a new innovative type of concrete, and it is used widely in the construction industries. This type of concrete comes into place due to reduced cement content usage in the construction of structures. Already we are using cement as a binding material widely in the construction sector, but the problem is due to the cement content Co2 emissions are mainly produced and one more problem is greenhouse gases are increasing rapidly during the manufacturing of cement. Then after a lot of researchers, finally we got a geopolymer as a replacement for cement. By replacing cement content with geopolymer, we can reduce the cost of construction and reuse the structural materials. So, this type of concrete is different from standard conventional concrete. We can minimize Co2 and greenhouse gases’ problem in the atmosphere and make the structure an environmentally friendly solution. So, this type of concrete is very famous in the construction industry, and there are benefits also excellent. So, it can be used widely in construction sectors worldwide. This paper may help understand Geopolymer Concrete for everyone quickly. It gives a quick review of the Geopolymer Concrete.
