Abstract
Considering the energy consumption and the CO2 released into the atmosphere, the future needs to use alkali-activated composite (AAC) technology instead of cement in construction applications to ensure a sustainable environment. As a result of experimental studies on AAC, it has been observed that AACs have higher mechanical and durability properties than cement mortars. However, due to the high semibrittle behavior (FR) AACs for a wide variety of applications. This chapter examines the effect of synthetic fiber-reinforced AACs on mechanical properties. In this chapter, current studies on mechanical properties such as compressive strength, flexural strength, tensile strength, toughness, and abrasion resistance of by-product-added AACs formed with different synthetic fiber combinations and ratios are presented. Based on the literature, the consequences showed that the use of optimum synthetic fiber ratios in AACs not only improves mechanical properties but also contributes to the economy and environment.
