Geopolymer concrete (GPC) is an alkali-activated aluminosilicate material that has emerged as a sustainable alternative to Portland cement (PC) due to its lower carbon footprint and comparable performance. This review highlights recent advancements in GPC technology, focusing on its physical, fresh, mechanical, and durability properties. GPC exhibits excellent mechanical strength, similar to PC, but with significantly reduced CO₂ emissions during production. It also demonstrates similar or improved physical characteristics, making it suitable for various construction applications. The review discusses the chemistry and structure of geopolymers, their reaction mechanisms, and the components used in their manufacturing processes. GPC's durability properties make it suitable for long-term performance in challenging environments. The review emphasizes the potential of GPC as a sustainable alternative to PC, noting its cost-effectiveness and environmental benefits. GPC is produced by mixing raw materials with alkaline activators, resulting in a rigid binder with rapid hardening and high mechanical strength. GPC offers advantages such as greater early strength, reduced natural resource usage, and the ability to be molded into diverse structural shapes. It is used in concrete structure repairs, road infrastructure maintenance, and mitigating environmental impacts. GPC is also suitable for passive fire protection systems due to its thermal stability and low thermal conductivity. The review concludes that GPC is a viable alternative to PC, contributing to urban sustainability and reducing environmental pollutants. GPC has a lower bulk cost compared to OPC concrete, contributing to pollution reduction, energy conservation, and lower construction costs. The review also highlights the importance of scientifically determining interactions in GPC production from waste materials to maximize its benefits. Table 1 details the advantages of GPC over OPC, including early and later mechanical strength, stability in thermal and chemical environments, excellent adhesion, low permeability, and cost-effectiveness. GPC is an attractive alternative for stabilizing large quantities of waste for basic industrial use.Geopolymer concrete (GPC) is an alkali-activated aluminosilicate material that has emerged as a sustainable alternative to Portland cement (PC) due to its lower carbon footprint and comparable performance.
