Dataset for: Mechanical, Durability, and Life Cycle Analysis of Industrial Waste-Based Geopolymers as Alternatives to Portland Cement

This dataset accompanies the research article titled "Industrial Wastes for Manufacturing Green Geopolymers: Carbon-Neutral Alternatives to Portland Cement." It contains experimental data from the synthesis and performance evaluation of geopolymer binders formulated using industrial by-products including fly ash, ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBFS), and red mud. Contents: Mix Design Data: Proportions of precursors, alkali activators (NaOH, Na₂SiO₃), molar ratios (Si/Al, Na/Al), liquid-to-solid ratios, and curing conditions.

Mechanical Test Results: Compressive strength and flexural strength values for various geopolymer formulations under different curing regimes. Durability Test Data: Resistance to sulfate attack, chloride penetration, and freeze-thaw cycles compared to ordinary Portland cement (OPC). Life Cycle Inventory (LCI) Data: Embodied energy and CO₂ emission calculations for geopolymer and OPC production.
