The Role of Geopolymer in Concrete for Foundation Engineering: A Comprehensive Review

Author(s) Jigarbhai Mansukhbhai Sonani, Chirag Ishwarbhai Dhameliya
Country United States
Abstract This review paper serves as a comprehensive exploration of utilizing geopolymer as a sustainable binder in concrete for applications within foundation engineering, effectively positioning it as an eco-friendly alternative to conventional Portland cement. The paper's core strength lies in synthesizing existing research to demonstrate the dual advantages of geopolymer concrete: superior mechanical properties and durability coupled with significant sustainability gains. It applies this material science innovation across diverse foundation scopes, from structural elements like shallow and deep foundations to its use in soil stabilization for ground improvement, drawing a relevant and insightful parallel to established confinement methods like the use of geosynthetics and geocells. While acknowledging the material's potential in load-bearing applications and chemically binding weak soils, the paper offers a balanced discussion of current challenges, namely the need for standardization, overcoming curing requirements for in-situ work, and acquiring long-term performance data; ultimately, it charts a clear path for future research focused on developing practical, ambient-cured formulations and extensive life-cycle assessments to fully integrate this low-carbon material into modern geotechnical practice.
