Advanced Fiber-Reinforced Alkali-Activated Composites

Advanced Fiber-Reinforced Alkali-Activated Composites: Design, Mechanical Properties, and Durability

This book covers various fiber types and their usage as a sustainable material as well as their influence on mechanical properties and behavior, including compressive strength, tensile strength, flexural strength, and impact and bond resistance.

The durability of these composites in different environments such as seawater, magnesium sulphate, sulphuric acid, elevated temperature, and corrosive conditions is also discussed.

The book outlines a variety of mix design and curing regimes for alkali-activated composites. The additive manufacturing of these composites is also covered.

Different types of fiber-reinforced alkali-activated composites discussed include steel fiber-reinforced, carbon fiber-reinforced, natural fiber-reinforced, synthetic fiber-reinforced, and others.
