Research on Mechanical Property of Fiber-Reinforced Geopolymer

Abstract:

The compatibility and mechanical property of two kinds of synthetic fibers to geopolymer were studied. Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and polypropylene (PP) were used as reinforcing fiber materials. The result shows that flexural strength of geopolymer is obviously increased by mixed with reinforcing fiber. PVA is better than PP in reinforcing the flexural strength, both of these fibers have no significant effect in reinforcing the compressive strength to geopolymer.
