Review on geopolymer concrete incorporating Alccofine-1203

Abstract

The emergence of geopolymer concrete (GPC) has occurred as a sustainable substitute for conventional cement-based concrete, offering enhanced mechanical characteristics and reduced environmental impact. In the quest to further optimize GPC, incorporating supplementary cementitious materials has gained attention. For the research, Alccofine-1203 was considered as the material for incorporation into the geo-polymer concrete. This review study specifically examines the utilization of Alccofine-1203 as a material in GPC within the domain of structural engineering. Alccofine-1203, a high-performance mineral additive, exhibits pozzolanic and reactive properties, making it a promising candidate for enhancing GPC performance. This paper provides a comprehensive analysis of the chemical compositions and physical properties of Alccofine 1203, highlighting its potential benefits in GPC. Furthermore, it explores the influence of Alccofine-1203 on various aspects of GPC, including workability, compressive strength, flexural strength, durability, microstructure, and thermal properties. The review encompasses an analysis of relevant tests conducted to evaluate these properties. In summary, this review article is a great resource for researchers, engineers, and practitioners who are interested in the development and application of GPC containing Alccofine-1203.
