Fresh and Mechanical Characteristics of Eco-efficient GPC Incorporating Nano-silica: An Overview by Hiwa Hamid Sharif

“…Recently efforts have been made to incorporate nanoparticles in construction materials to enhance properties and produce concrete with improved performance. progress in the improvement of geopolymer concrete is fast becoming a feasible alternative to conventional cement-based totally concrete because geopolymer concrete is measured as an eco-efficient green concrete that consumes a large quantity of commercial and agro byproduct substances consisting of fly ash, floor granulated blast furnace slag, rice husk ash. To improve the overall performance of geopolymer concrete several methods have been investigated including using nanomaterials to enhance the chemical reactivity of the geopolymer concrete mixture and provide fine particles to fill nanopores and voids. …”
