State of the art, challenges, and emerging trends: Geopolymer composite reinforced by dispersed steel fibers

Abstract The main aim of the article is to analyze state art in short steel fiber-reinforced geopolymers, taking into consideration also waste fibers. Steel fibers are currently most widely applied additive composites building industry. work dedicated usage and mechanical properties geopolymer composites. Research methods a critical analysis literature sources, including comparison new material with other, traditional concrete materials used similar applications, especially construction results research discussed comparative context. They indicate that addition an efficient method not only for improving compressive flexural strength, but such as fracture toughness. potential applications industry well barriers challenges effective application reinforced presented. Further directions discussed.
