A Bibliographic Historical Analysis on Geopolymer as a Substitute for Portland Cement

Abstract:

Growing concern about environmental degradation has expanded the search for new technologies that could ensure sustainable development. In civil construction, new materials have emerged as alternatives to reduce the impact of the activity on the environment, one of them is the geopolymer. This material, which can be characterized as a stable and synthesized composite of aluminosilicate materials, has emerged as a potential substitute for Portland cement because it presents similar characteristics of initial strength and good mechanical performance, but without the high emission of carbon dioxide (CO₂) to obtaining it. This work brings a bibliographic analysis on geopolymer, it is intended to disseminate knowledge as of the state of the art on geopolymer as cement substitute.
