Properties of Steel Fiber Reinforced Geopolymer

Abstract:

In this study, the mechanical properties of steel fibre reinforced geopolymer (SFRG) are investigated. The geopolymer is consisted of fly ash, silica fume and activator solution, sodium silicate and sodium hydroxide. Five mix proportions of fly ash and silica fume are varied to study the effect of fly ash/silica fume ratios (FA/SF). This experimental series focus mainly on flexural strength and flexural toughness performance of SFRG. Hooked-ends steel fibers are used at 0.5% and 1% by volume fractions. The experiment is carried out based on ASTM C1609 (beam specimens) for flexural performance. The results showed that fibre can significantly enhance the both flexural strength and toughness of geopolymer. The enhancement also increases with the increasing fibre volume fraction.
