This paper presents the mechanism and chemistry behind the geo-polymerization and its application in development of Geo-polymer concrete. In this paper, guidelines to develop a geo-polymer concrete is discussed along with the factors affecting the geopolymerization process in concrete. It is concluded that curing temperature, ratio of alkaline liquids , chemical ratio of silicate and sodium in sodium silicate, alkaline liquids / Si-Al source materials ratio, sodium silicate/ hydroxyl ions ratio, presence of calcium, presence of excess water and Si/Al ratio in source materials have significant effect on the development of geopolymer concrete and its performance. |
