Flexural behaviour of steel fibre reinforced ternary blend geopolymer concrete

Abstract

The response of GeoPolymer Concrete(GPC) with fibres of steel conditioned to curing at ambient temperature conditions has been studied in this research paper. Mechanical properties, flexural strength of beams under two point loading, ductility characteristics, energy absorption capacity etc. have been investigated and compared with that of GPC without steel fibres. An analytical comparison is also made with similar models. An overall improvement in the properties are observed on adding steel fibres, the ductility property being significantly improved.
