Durability performance evaluation of green geopolymer concrete

The present manuscript is a state-of-the-art review, which examines the most recent stages in the developments of the class of eco-efficient green geopolymer concrete technology in the light of its history of research, more specifically, focusing on its unsettled durability criterion. The objective of this article is not merely to review it's on hand literature but also to focus on durability attribute on establishing it as a perspective cost-effective and sustainable universal building material. According to some researchers, durability related characteristics of GPC such as alkali-silica reaction; resistances to acid attack, Sulphate attack, freeze-thaw conditions, corrosion; water absorption, permeability, porosity, sorptivity, Chloride penetration, Chloride migration test techniques, Carbonation, drying shrinkage and efflorescence necessitate more elucidations to prove its capability as durable edifice material. The suggestions mentioned in this article will be helpful for future research work on long-drawn-out durability. Although a little challenge viz., curing hurdles, practical confronts of utilization at times, restricted supply chain, and a call for vigilant command of mixture design for its manufacturing, are standing in its pathway for a quid pro quo replacement of OPC-concrete from the construction industries. Ultimately, the paper identifies research challenges, promotion and relevant discussions for this promising novel type of building material.
