Özet:

Global warming is one of the most critical environmental problems affecting all living things. The release of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide (CO2) into the atmosphere plays an important role in global warming. A large amount of cement is produced each year to construct structures worldwide. A significant amount (15-24%) of CO2 gas is formed in the atmosphere due to cement production. For this reason, environmental sustainability needs to use more environmentally friendly, sustainable materials in certain proportions instead of cement. These materials, which will be used instead of cement, which are used extensively in the field of civil engineering, especially in concrete production and soil improvement works, should also positively affect the strength and durability properties of these materials. Sustain materials should also positively affect the strength and durability properties in case of substituting these materials instead of cement which is intensively utilized in the field of civil engineering, especially in concrete production and soil improvement. Many parameters can be effective in civil engineering, experimental, and analytical studies. Many experiments are required to determine the optimum amount of mineral additives in the production of sustainable geopolymer concretes employing materials such as fly ash, silica fume, and ground blast furnace slag or to investigate the effect of these parameters on the desired concrete properties. On the other hand, many analyzes are needed in analytical studies where many parameters are effective. Thanks to the method developed by Genichi Taguchi and used in quality improvement, the effect of many parameters and these parameter levels on the targeted design can be determined reliably and parameter optimization can be conducted robustly. Thanks to the method, reliable results are obtained by saving time, labor, cost, and energy.
