Geopolymer concrete is an emerging and innovative material that has gained rapid attention in Australia in recent years. It incorporates the use of industrial or natural waste products (such as fly ash or blast furnace slag) as a majority cementitious replacement for traditional Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) in concrete. The purported benefits of this product are predominantly environmental, with reductions in carbon dioxide emissions and energy requirements in its manufacture and production. Research to date also suggests that this product offers equal or superior strength and durability performance when compared to OPC concrete. Cost savings have also been identified for some products
