Project description:	The construction industry is undergoing a critical transformation as it faces mounting pressure to meet climate targets and material sustainability goals. One of the most urgent challenges lies in reducing the carbon emissions associated with conventional cement-based construction materials, which remain the dominant yet environmentally detrimental option in structural and non-structural applications. Although alkali-activated materials (AAMs) such as granulated blast furnace slag (GBFS)-based geopolymers have emerged as promising low-CO₂ alternatives, their widespread implementation is hindered by key durability and processing limitations—particularly in high-humidity or wet environments. This study seeks to move beyond empirical tweaking and instead focus on uncovering fundamental mechanisms that affect geopolymer stability and functionality in humid conditions. Ultimately, it aims to deliver a modified mixture and curing method capable of producing a geopolymer tile with low porosity, minimal efflorescence, consistent structural performance, and resilience in wet environments. the central research question is: How can the composition and curing conditions of a slag-based geopolymer be optimized to significantly improve water resistance and alkali stability, without compromising mechanical performance, in high-humidity environments?
