Lightweight materials are the most popular building wall construction because of their fast installation, high insulation, and low cost. However, these use cement as a binder. Cement production releases carbon dioxide emissions resulting in environmental issues. The research investigated fly ash geopolymer polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) to enhance mechanical thermal properties cellular lightweight mor...

Geopolymer concrete is one of the innovative eco-friendly materials that has gained attention many researchers in sustainable development construction industry. The primary objective this experimental investigation to study flexural behaviour ternary blend geopolymer (TGPC) with various proportions hybrid fibres. In study, 27 reinforced beams were cast a TGPC grade M55 and tested under monotoni...

In the last ten years, Portland cement industry has received wide criticism due to its related high embodied energy and carbon dioxide footprint. Recently, numerous “clean” strategies solutions were developed. Among these, geopolymer technology is gaining growing interest as a functional way design more eco-friendly construction materials for waste management issues suffered by various industri...

Abstract Utilizing industrial waste materials such as red mud alternatives to high emissions of CO 2 Portland cement will help produce integrated sustainable construction materials. Statistical analysis has been performed on the major oxides understand relationship between chemical composition and properties (e.g., workability, setting time, compressive strength, etc.) mud-based geopolymer comp...

The cement industry is a major contributor to greenhouse gas emissions on global scale. Consequently, there has been an increasing interest, in both academia and business, low-carbon concretes which Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) partially or fully replaced with industrial side streams. However, the realization of environmental benefits such materials depends how competitive they are constructi...
