Cement industries that produce the primary component of concrete remain one of the main
challenges to the world since they change the climate and possess a negative impact on …

Because of their brittleness, traditional Portland cement-based composites are inherently
weaker under tensile loads. This issue becomes worse in geopolymer (GPL) composites by …

Sustainable construction materials are in needs to reduce CO 2 emissions in the
environment. Geopolymer being an emergent sustainable construction material had been …

The effects of specimen spans on concrete fracture parameters were firstly investigated
using three-point bending beams. The calculation formulae of the fracture parameters for …

Global availability, cost-effectiveness and the excellent crack bridging mechanism offered by
the natural fibers played a vital role in the development of sustainable construction. On the …

The variability of properties presented by natural lignocellulosic fibers (NLFs) is an important
issue to highlight, since such inconsistencies in their characteristics put them at a …

Sulfate attack is one of the major threats to concrete structures. In this study, strength
degradation, by magnesium sulfate (MgSO 4) reaction, of low-calcium fly ash geopolymer …

The meso-scale model of three-point bending notched beams based on the cohesive force
model is developed to study the effect of the meso-scale structural characteristics of …

This research reports an experimental study on thermal and mechanical properties of Class
C fly ash (FA) based geopolymer composited with hemp shiv, to develop as a sustainable …

Featured Application Geopolymers formulated with different types of natural fibers with
improved mechanical proper-ties can be obtained and used in civil engineering …
