A BREAKTROUGH IN READY TO USE GLASS FIBER-REINFORCED GEOPOLYMER POWDER CONCRETE (GFRGC)

This research presents a pioneering development in sustainable construction materials, unveiling a ready-to-use Glass Fiber-Reinforced Geopolymer Concrete (GFRGC) with a remarkable compressive strength of 90 MPa, achieved under ambient curing conditions. The innovation lies in the exclusive utilization of industrial by-products and alkali dry activators within the pre-mixed GFRGC formulation. The implications of this research are transformative, offering a readily applicable, high-strength construction material that aligns with sustainability goals. The ready-to-use nature of the GFRGC streamlines construction processes, lowers project timelines, and enhances the long-term durability of structures. This innovation serves as a catalyst for environmentally conscious construction practices, opening avenues for a more sustainable built environment and showcasing the potential for wide-scale adoption of geopolymer materials in the construction industry.
