Abstract: ABSTRACT GGBS AND GLASS POWDER BASED GEOPOLYMER CONCRETE COMPOSITION AND METHOD FOR LOW-CARBON SUSTAINABLE CONSTRUCTION The present invention relates to a geopolymer concrete composition utilizing Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag (GGBS) and waste glass powder as primary binder materials for sustainable construction applications. More particularly, the invention discloses an eco-friendly concrete composition configured to reduce carbon emissions associated with Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) while simultaneously enabling utilization of non-biodegradable waste glass materials. The invention comprises GGBS, glass powder, fine aggregates, coarse aggregates, and alkaline activators configured to initiate geopolymerization reactions resulting in formation of strong binding gels including calcium-alumino-silicate-hydrate (C-A-S-H) and sodium- alumino-silicate-hydrate (N-A-S-H). The disclosed geopolymer concrete exhibits enhanced compressive strength, improved flexural strength, reduced permeability, enhanced durability, and improved microstructural density. The invention further provides ambient curing capability without requiring heat curing processes, thereby improving practical applicability and energy efficiency. The disclosed concrete composition is suitable for structural construction, green buildings, precast products, industrial infrastructure, and environmentally sustainable construction applications.
