Abstract

Concrete is the world’s second most consumed material after water. The prime ingredient of conventional concrete is the cement which acts as a binder. It is a well-known fact that cement manufacturing industries are responsible for carbon dioxide emission into the atmosphere, thereby polluting the environment. With the expansion in infrastructural projects, the demand for concrete is bound to rise. This will result in more concrete production and a rise in environmental pollution. Emphasis on environmental protection has led to an effort for finding an appropriate sustainable construction material alternative to traditional cement concrete. Geopolymer concrete also known as alkali-activated concrete can be an appropriate alternative to traditional cement concrete because of its lesser carbon footprint than the traditional one. Geopolymer concrete is still in the research and developing phase with no proper guidelines and code of practice. Geopolymer concrete behaves differently in different curing conditions. This study emphasizes the effect of different curing regimes on the strength parameters of geopolymer concrete.
