This innovative research looks at the use of clay as source material for geopolymer and alkali- activated concrete, with a focus on how they could promote green construction practices and perhaps replace Portland cement. Alkali-activated concretes and geopolymers offer low-carbon, eco-friendly alternatives by utilizing natural minerals and industrial wastes. Particularly clay is a plentiful and adaptable option for these cutting-edge products. This review looks at different kinds of clay, like bentonite, kaolinite, and montmorillonite, and evaluates which ones work best for alkali-activated systems and geopolymer systems. It explores the activation processes, emphasizing how clay minerals are changed into strong binding phases by alkaline activators such as sodium hydroxide and sodium silicate. Analyzed is the effect of variables such as alkali-activated concretes, mix designs, and curing circumstances on the functionality of clay-based geopolymers and concretes. According to recent research, these clay-based concretes outperform conventional concrete in terms of mechanical strength, chemical resistance, and permeability. The paper highlights their adaptability by talking about possible uses in waste management, soil stabilization, and infrastructure. The analysis also lists present difficulties and suggests future lines of inquiry for maximizing the application of clay in these cutting-edge cementitious systems. This study intends to promote sustainable construction practices by offering insights into material properties, processing methods, and performance characteristics related to the efficient use of clay in geopolymer and alkali-activated concretes.
Keywords: Clay, geopolymer concrete, sustainable concrete, fresh properties, hardness.
