Abstract

Geopolymers are one of the recently used advanced construction material for binding instead of cement. Geopolymers are inorganic binders consisting of two components: a very fine and dry powder, and a syrupy, highly alkaline liquid. Ferrocement is a form of reinforced concrete that differs from conventional reinforced or prestressed concrete primarily by the manner in which the reinforcing elements are dispersed and arranged. It consists of closely spaced, multiple layers of mesh or fine rods completely embedded in cement mortar. In this work, cement is replaced by geopolymer mix to bind the ferrocement skeletal and its flexural behavior is studied. The flexural behavior of geopolymer ferrocement slabs of dimension 1000 x 200 x 25 mm are tested and reported for different molarities of the alkaline solution and for various volume fractions. The parameters of the study include initial crack load, ultimate crack load, ultimate flexural strength, crack behavior and load deformation behavior.
