Abstract

Geopolymer concrete (GPC) is a promising alternative to conventional cement-based concrete due to its excellent mechanical and durability properties, low CO2 emissions, and utilization of industrial wastes. However, the brittle nature of GPC limits its structural applications. To overcome this limitation, researchers have investigated the use of fiber reinforcement in GPC. Among the various types of fibers, glass fibers have been extensively studied due to their high strength, stiffness, and corrosion resistance. This paper presents a comprehensive review of the research conducted on glass fiber reinforced geopolymer concrete (GFRGPC). The paper summarizes the recent developments in the field of GFRGPC, including the effects of fiber length, content, aspect ratio, orientation, and surface treatment on the mechanical and durability properties of GFRGPC. The paper also discusses the various characterization techniques used to evaluate the properties of GFRGPC, such as compressive strength, flexural strength, split tensile strength, impact resistance, toughness, and durability under different environmental conditions. The review concludes with an overview of the potential applications of GFRGPC in the construction industry and the challenges that need to be addressed for its widespread adoption.
