Abstract: In the 1950s, Viktor Glukovsky of Kiev, U.S.S.R., developed concrete materials that were originally known as “soil silicate concretes” and “soil cements,” however since Joseph Davidovits coined the geopolymer theory, the terms and meanings of “geopolymer” have become more complex and often more frequent. As the production of Ordinary Portland Cement produces substantial CO2 emissions, Geopolymer Concrete will be of considerable cure to global warming related to the construction industry. At the same time, GPC substitutes OPC by industrial waste products for instance Fly Ash, Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag (GGBS), Silica Fume, Rice-Husk Ash, Metakaoline or Red Mud (RM) utterly or almost 80%.
