Geopolymer concrete (GPC) is an innovative material with the potential to become a green building material due to its low carbon footprint and environmentally friendly production process. 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.

Smart grid and smart house applications currently seldom utilise the Internet of Things (IoT), despite the fact that it offers substantial benefits over conventional communication methods. This research uses a thorough literature analysis to help bridge the gap between current state-of-the-art smart home apps and their potential integration into an Internet of Things (IoT) enabled environment. We propose a holistic framework which incorporates different components from IoT architectures/frameworks proposed in the literature, effectively incorporate smart home devices into an Internet of Things (IoT) solution that is focused on the cloud. For the suggested architecture, we determine a model for smart home administration and the primary responsibilities of each level. We also discuss practical design challenges emphasising data processing, smart home communication protocols and interoperability. We believe that the comprehensive architecture established in this article may serve as a rock-solid foundation for those in the future who build smart home solutions based on the Internet of Things.
