Investigation Of Hybrid Fiber Performance On Geopolymer Concrete Properties Through Mix And Match Ratio

  • Unique Paper ID: 185206
  • PageNo: 570-574
  • Abstract:
  • Geopolymer concrete (GPC) has gained prominence as an eco-friendly substitute for traditional Portland cement-based concrete, owing to its reduced carbon emissions and effective use of industrial waste materials. Despite its advantages, GPC exhibits inherent brittleness and low tensile strength, limiting its structural applications. This study examines the influence of hybrid fibre reinforcement combining fibres such as steel, polypropylene, basalt, or glass in varying proportions on the mechanical and durability properties of GPC. Through comprehensive testing, including compressive strength, flexural strength, split tensile strength, water absorption, and sulphate resistance, the research identifies the optimal fibre blend and dosage to enhance GPC’s performance without compromising workability. The results aim to advance the development of high-performance, fibre-reinforced geopolymer concrete for sustainable construction.
