Geopolymer Concrete with Natural Fibers

Geopolymer concrete of composites have recently become a showing sign of future ecological alternative to the conventional use cementitious materials. The geopolymer concrete are cost-effectively, friendly to environmentally and production make very small amount of energy to produced. They have good thermal properties being highly resistant to flame and heat. flash based concrete has compressive strength and durability but it have comparative to low flexural and tensile strength. This paper explain the studies of the fly ash based geopolymer concrete with reinforced with cotton, sisal, raffia and coir are used as natural fibre. The study is to analysis the impact of addition of different natural fibers on the geopolymer concrete. The actual part of the research was based on the compressive strength tests on geopolymer concrete with different molarity, compression test and flexural strength test of geopolymer concrete with fibre such as natural fibre are sisal, cotton coir and raffia fibre. The results show that the adding of sisal, cotton, coir and raffia such as natural fibers can increase the mechanical properties of geopolymer concrete composites.
