A Comprehensive Study of the Polypropylene Fiber Reinforced Fly Ash Based Geopolymer.

As a cementitious material, geopolymers show a high quasi-brittle behavior and a relatively low fracture energy. To overcome such a weakness, incorporation of fibers to a brittle matrix is a well-known technique to enhance the flexural properties. This study comprehensively evaluates the short and l...
