There is a need for ambient-cured geopolymer as a potential replacement for conventional ordinary Portland cement (OPC) based concrete. But geopolymers, that belong to the ceramic family, behave in a brittle manner and hence this research focusses on the enhancement of ductility using fibers. Thus,...
