Abstract

The chapter delves into the impact of Metakaolin (MK) on the durability of geopolymers, with a particular focus on carbonation and corrosion resistance. It discusses how MK affects the carbonation depth and corrosion rate of steel rebars embedded in alkali-activated slag pastes. Additionally, the chapter explores other durability aspects such as sulphate resistance, chloride permeability, and fire resistance. It highlights the varying effects of MK on these properties, depending on the percentage of replacement and the specific conditions. The chapter also addresses the inconsistencies in the results reported in different studies, emphasizing the need for further research to reach conclusive findings. By presenting a detailed analysis of the current state of knowledge, this chapter aims to inform and guide researchers and professionals in the field of materials science and civil engineering.
