This research work throws lime light in mitigating the brittleness of GGBS based geopolymer concrete through the addition of high modulus fibers. This work invests the effects of incorporation of steel fibers in geopolymer concrete over workability, compressive, split tensile, flexural, ductility factor and energy absorption capacity. The steel fibers were added in proportions such as 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1 and 1.25 percent of the volume of concrete. The results report that addition of steel fibers have positive impacts over mechanical properties, ductility and energy absorption capacity. This paves way for extending the scope of geopolymer concrete in various facets to replace the cement concrete effectively.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
