Abstract :	[en] One of the most promising cement alternatives are geopolymer cements. The term “geopolymer” was mentioned for the first time by Davidovits and classifies all forms of inorganic polymeric material synthesised by chemical reaction of aluminosilicates and an alkaline activating solution. The production of geopolymer binder comprises in two main procedures: calcination and geopolymerisation. The synthesised geopolymer shows interesting characteristics like good mechanical properties, high strength and good durability.
