Abstract
Self-compacting geopolymer concrete (SCGPC) is a cutting-edge sustainable engineering material in construction that eliminates the need for both compaction and Portland cement. In this study, the impact of various steel fiber content on the workability of SCGPC was investigated. The basic workability features of freshly made SCGPC, such as filling ability, passing ability, and segregation resistance, were assessed by employing slump flow, V-funnel, L-box, and J-ring test techniques. Obtained results showed that all the investigated characteristics of SCGPC have retreated due to the inclusion of steel fibers. Findings presented in this research confirmed that the basic requirements of EFNARC could only be satisfied when Vf ≤ 1.0%.
Highlights
Geopolymeric materials have attracted great attention and interest due to its environmental effectiveness, including the reduction in the use of natural resources and reduced CO2 generation [1]
The basic ingredients used in self-compacting concrete (SCC) are identical to those used in conventional concrete, with the exception that SCC is made in different contents
Vf= 1.0 % was considered as the maximum fiber content that could be used in producing fiber-reinforced Self-compacting geopolymer concrete (SCGPC).Table 8 supports this conclusion where the negative variation of results has been multiplied beyond this ratio (Vf= 1.0 %)
Summary
Geopolymeric materials have attracted great attention and interest due to its environmental effectiveness, including the reduction in the use of natural resources and reduced CO2 generation [1].
