Title A name given to the resource Durability Studies and Stress Strain Characteristics of hooked end steel fiber reinforced ambient cured geopolymer concrete Description An account of the resource For conventional concrete, the use of fibers has proven to improve the strength properties of the material. However, in the case of ambient cured geopolymer concrete, there are limited studies that explore the application of fibers, in particular, the use of hooked end steel fibers. Further, it is important to study the durability properties of geopolymer concrete with fibers, since it will influence the service life of the structures in practice. Therefore, in the present study, fiber-reinforced geopolymer concrete was synthesized using fly ash, GGBS, hooked end steel fibers, and alkaline solution made with Na2SiO3 and NaOH. The percentage of steel fibers varied in the range of 0.5% to 2% with an increment of 0.5% by volume fraction of the binder. The precursor materials were characterized using techniques such as X-ray fluorescence (XRF), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and scanning electron microscope (SEM). Durability studies like water absorption, drying shrinkage, sulphate attack were studied. In addition, the elastic constants were determined through stress strain behaviour of geopolymer concrete in uniaxial compression. The results of the experimental study showed that the addition of hooked end steel fibers influences the strength of geopolymer concrete up to an optimal percentage, which was found to be 1%. Furthermore, in terms of durability properties, the addition of fibers exhibited better results in terms of resistance to water absorption and chemical attack, and this was validated by the microstructural studies, where the specimens with hooked end steel fibers revealed much denser hardened geopolymer matrix when compared to the mixes without fibers.
