The novelty of GPC as a material, especially with regard to its structural behavior, has kept it a mostly unexplored subject in the literature. The majority of concrete used in building projects are Reinforced Concrete (RC) beams. In light of the recent developments in our knowledge of reinforced geopolymer concrete beam structural performance, this review research aims to fill that knowledge gap. The strengths of the bonds, as well as the flexural behavior and shear conduct, of reinforced concrete beams constructed to avail oneself of geopolymer concrete are contrasted with those of OPCC in this examination. The structural behavior of geopolymer concrete beams is similar to that of traditional OPCC beams, as shown in the literature. In addition, Geopolymer concrete beams failed in shear and flexure in a manner that was quite similar to OPCC beams. Literature reviews have shown that Geopolymer concrete beams may be used safely with current regulations. To promote cleaner and more sustainable options in the building manufacture and to guarantee its sustainability in the industry, large-size research on the structural behaviour is necessary for service usage in many applications and domains. Researchers and civil engineers might use this review as a roadmap for their future Geopolymer concrete investigations.
