Abstract
In an effort to further the research and development of geopolymer cement, this UROP investigated the curing requirements of a variety of concrete mixtures with the goal of eventual placement of sidewalks on the University of Minnesota Duluth (UMD) campus. This project is the next step in the Sustainable Sidewalk project which has been going since 2015. These new and previously made mixtures have a lower carbon footprint than traditional portland cement concrete and have been shown to have enhanced durability. Ideally, we had hoped to find a mixture that allowed for the concrete, which normally requires heat to cure, to be cured ambiently, or in room temperature conditions.
