Abstract
The manuscript discusses alternative and cheaper concrete types developed through research and practice that attract worldwide attention, especially those that contain components, such as waste materials from industry, agriculture, mining, and domestic. These concretes include post-concrete and geopolymer concrete. Others are synthetic concrete, pozzolana concrete, fiber concrete, and mortar. This alternative concrete has been found to possess improved mechanical strength and durability, especially higher tensile, flexural, shockproof, hardness, crack relief, and resistance to acid and sulfate attacks. The choice of alternative constituent materials has become a potential waste material that can completely or partially replace these mixture components. The production of alternative concrete is essential in the reduction of costs, carbon dioxide emissions, and for environmental sustainability. The purpose of this manuscript is to present to stakeholders in the construction industry some alternative concretes that are economical and environmentally friendly but yet compete with conventional concretes in strength and surpass durability in most cases.
