The significant CO2 emissions that can be associated with cement manufacture is the primary cause of global warming. Thus, the authors and research groups are motivated by many factors to find long-term solutions to this problem. Geopolymer concrete is such type of concrete in which the primary binder has resulted from alkali activation of some source materials like fly ash, metakaoline, rice husk ash, and ground granulated blast furnace slag. Commonly, geopolymer concrete gives comparable mechanical strength properties to conventional concrete. The use of this type of concrete is restricted by the properties of the used source materials and the molar concentrations of the alkali activator. As a consequence, making investigations into the relevant structural behavior as a result of these variables are rich source of scientific research. The goal of this work is to provide a brief overview of the recent contributions that have dealt with the structural behavior of geopolymer concrete. The context of this paper was obtained to illustrate the main findings as well as the used source materials and some additional considerations.
