UPCOMING ERA IN CIVIL ENGINEERING: GEO-POLYMERS links available

WHAT ARE THESE?
 Geopolymerconcrete is an innovative material and a real alternative to conventional Portland cement for use in transportation infrastructure, construction and offshore applications. It relies on minimally processed natural materials or industrial byproducts to significantly reduce its carbon footprint, while also being very resistant to many of the durability issues that can plague conventional concretes.

Creating geopolymer cement requires an alumina silicate material, a user-friendly alkaline reagent[2] (sodium or potassium soluble silicates with a molar ratio MR SiO2:M2O>1,65, M being Na or K) and water (See the definition for "user-friendly" reagent below). Room temperature hardening relies on the addition of calcium cations, essentially iron blast furnace slag.
