- Description
- Researchers have emphasized on sustainable construction with utilization of industrial wastes or byproducts in production of concrete. Geopolymer concrete is one of the popular construction materials which has shown promising results and potential to substitute conventional energy intensive materials such as Portland cement concrete. Further, the use of fibers has shown potential to overcome various deficiencies of geopolymer concrete. However, there are limited studies which explore the benefits of fiber reinforced geopolymer concrete and its applications. The development of fiber reinforced geopolymer concrete is relatively new construction material and has to be experimentally validated in order to increase its usage in the construction industry. As a result, this review paper is an attempt to discuss the effect of shape, type, aspect ratio and volume fraction of fibers on strength and durability properties of geopolymer concrete. From this detailed review it can be concluded that fiber reinforced geopolymer concrete enhances ductile behavior, tensile strength, toughness & energy absorption capacities. 2022
