dc.description.abstractWith the increasing global population, various industrial demands have emerged. In response to these needs, construction and shelter have become fundamental aspects of human life, leading to rapid growth in the construction sector. However, the accelerated depletion of natural resources commonly used in industry poses a significant challenge to sustainability. The use of conventional building materials results in excessive consumption of natural resources and generates waste that can lead to irreversible environmental problems. This situation necessitates the investigation of new and sustainable alternatives to minimize the environmental impact of human activities. As a natural consequence of expanding industries driven by technological advancement, the volume of industrial waste is growing rapidly. The wastes must be either stored, disposed of, or reused. Considering the environmental damage associated with storage and disposal, the most appropriate solution is reuse, which contributes to sustainability by transforming waste into secondary raw materials. In this study, a combination of waste tires, marble waste, and bottom ash was utilized alongside pumice, a natural and lightweight aggregate. To facilitate the geopolymerization process, sodium hydroxide was employed in the preparation of the alkaline activating solution. The resulting geopolymer-based construction material was then evaluated for its potential application in reinforced concrete structural system. Stress-strain relationship of the sustainable geopolymer mixture, primarily derived from waste tires, were experimentally determined. Furthermore, the analytical performance of masonry units manufactured from this mixture was evaluated in infill wall-frame systems.
