ResumoCements from alkali-activated reactions are unleashing opportunities for the future application of inorganic polymers, known as geopolymers. These materials are eco-friendly, since their manufacturing process does not involve carbon dioxide (CO2) emission and it makes possible the use of industrial waste as raw material. In this work, a geopolymeric cement concrete (GCC) was developed through adequate portions of geopolymer components. Its characteristics were compared with Portland cement concrete (PCC), through the establishment of some parameters of design such as consumption of binders, water/aggregates ratio and cement content. The mechanical performance of these concretes was evaluated with emphasis on the fatigue behavior. The results showed a better fatigue performance of CCG in comparison with PCC in several parameters. Better matrix/aggregate adhesion in the CCG in comparison with PCC was also observed in the microstructural analysis, which may explain its superior fatigue performance.
