Effects of aggregates on the mechanical properties and microstructure of geothermal metakaolin-based geopolymers

Geothermal clay rich in kaolinite was first prepared into geopolymers in the preparation of alkali-activated cementitious binders (AACBs). Effects of silica sand and steel fiber aggregates on the microstructure and mechanical strength of the geothermal-metakaolin-based geopolymer were studied. Measu...
