The global construction sector faces significant sustainability challenges due to the high energy consumption and carbon emissions associated with Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC). Geopolymer concrete (GPC), synthesized through the alkali activation of aluminosilicate-rich by-products such as fly ash (FA) and metakaolin (MK), offers a promising low-carbon alternative. This study examines the effects of combining FA, MK, nano-alumina (NA), and nano-limestone (NL) in binary, ternary, and quaternary GPC blends of GP-40 and GP-60. Hardened properties, including compressive, flexural, and splitting tensile strengths, along with ultrasonic pulse velocity, were evaluated at 7, 28, 56, and 90 days. The results showed that nanomaterials improved pore structure and binder homogeneity, leading to enhanced overall mechanical performance. Optimized mixes achieved compressive strengths exceeding 55 MPa at 90 days, with significant improvements in splitting tensile and flexural strengths. The results indicate that nanomodified GPC blends demonstrated balanced performance, making them a sustainable alternative for future green concrete applications.
