Developing a Geopolymer Concrete Mix for Coastal Bridge Piers
Quick fact
Geopolymer concrete can cut CO2 emissions by up to 80% compared to traditional Portland cement while offering superior resistance to chloride penetration, making it ideal for coastal bridge piers.
Why this is interesting
You've heard of concrete that lasts 100 years, but what if making it emitted far more CO2 than a plane flight? Geopolymer concrete might be the low-carbon, high-durability answer—especially where salt water attacks.
