 Introduction

• The increase in the worldwide population and the corresponding demand for building materials has significantly driven up the
demand for Portland cement, which is expected to increase up to 200% by 2050. According to a recent survey, more than 4.1 billion
tons of Portland cement were globally manufactured in 2020 (U.S. Geological Survey, 2021), causing a release of around 2.8 billion
tons of CO2 emissions, which is expected to reach 4.8 billion tons by 2030 .
• To minimise the harmful impact of CO2 emissions caused by cement production, increasing attention has been paid to the
development of green building materials that are completely cement-free, considering the fact that cement production is
responsible for approximately 6–9% of global CO2 footprint
• Therefore, there is a need to explore and find suitable replacement material to substitute the natural resources. The advantages and
utilization of by-products are pronounced in the aspects of reduction in environmental load and waste management .
• The amount of waste generated during demolition activities is much greater than the waste generated during construction
activities. Construction, renovation and demolition activities result in waste generation of 40-60,40-60,500Kg/m3 respectively.
• India is the world's second-largest producer of construction and demolition trash, with 530 million tons produced. India places a lot
of emphasis on estimating its C&D waste nationwide, but it ignores the huge amount of resources that may be used effectively than
landfilling .

 RESEARCH OBJECTIVE

 To Assess the mechanical properties, including compressive strength, tensile strength, and
flexural strength, of geopolymer concrete with different replacement levels of C&D wastes.

 To Develop optimal mix for geopolymer concrete with varying percentage of C&D waste, such
as brick, concrete, and ceramic waste as replacements in binders.

Review Due to the diverse chemical
characteristics of C&D waste, each
Researchgate mixture requires a specific mix design,
curing conditions, and activation
methods to achieve optimal
properties. Partial or complete
substitution of fine recycled aggregates
(from C&D waste) in standard concrete
typically results in a lower quality
product due to the inherent low quality
and load-bearing capacity of these
aggregates.

Powder-Based Geopolymer used in making geopolymer concrete.
2018 Concrete The increase of aggregate content
improved the strength. The use of 4%
Researchgate superplasticizer is needed to improve
the mixture flowability. The inclusion
of 40% by weight slag as partial
replacement of CWP significantly
improved the strength and the bulk
electrical resistivity. The application of
24 h at 60oC curing followed by air
curing is the optimum curing regime to
improve the performance of the
produced CWP and slag geopolymer.
