    <dc:title>Dataset for: Mechanical, Durability, and Life Cycle Analysis of Industrial Waste-Based Geopolymers as Alternatives to Portland Cement</dc:title>
    <dc:publisher>Mendeley Data</dc:publisher>
    <dc:description>This dataset accompanies the research article titled &quot;Industrial Wastes for Manufacturing Green Geopolymers: Carbon-Neutral Alternatives to Portland Cement.&quot; 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.

Optimisation Data: Input and output parameters used in Response Surface Methodology (RSM) and Artificial Neural Network (ANN) models for mix optimisation.

Microstructural Analysis: SEM/EDS and XRD data summaries for selected samples.</dc:description>
