For instance, China used a major % of the global concrete supply in 2019. In 2050, the worldwide production of concrete is expected to increase from 4.3–6.1 billion metric tonnes.

The outcome of this review study demonstrates the mechanical features of FRGPC, including density, compressive strength, split tensile strength, and flexural strength, as well as its microstructural properties.Ĭhanging creative and environmentally friendly works are required due to population growth and new global rules. Compared to non-fibrous composites, adding more fibre to the composite often strengthens its mechanical properties. Additionally, extending fibre measures become advantageous by enhancing the instance’s long-term shrinking performance. Lightweight Geopolymer Concrete (GPC) absorption of moisture content and thermomechanical properties formed from Fly ash (FA), Sodium Hydroxide (NaOH), and Sodium Silicate (Na 2SiO 3) solutions, as well as fibres, are evaluated experimentally and discussed. This research also discusses the history of FRGPC and its fresh and hardened properties. Thus, it is strongly predicted that fibre-reinforced geopolymers will innovate quickly. By analysing prior investigations, this paper explains and shows that Fibre Reinforced Geopolymer Concrete (FRGPC) possesses excellent thermal stability, low weight, and decreased shrinking properties. These quasi-brittle inorganic composites, which employ an “alkali activating solution” as a binder agent and industrial waste with greater alumina and silica content as its base material, can have their ductility enhanced by utilising the proper reinforcing elements, ideally “fibres”. Geopolymers are very promising low-carbon, cement-free composite materials with superior mechanical and serviceability properties, compared to Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) based construction materials. The development of substitute concrete binders is required to alleviate the environmental consequences of Portland cement. Alternative eco-friendly and sustainable construction methods are being developed to address growing infrastructure demands, which is a promising field of study.
