Abstract

Fibers are commonly used as reinforcements to improve the mechanical performance of many materials because they are effective in strengthening and toughening these materials. This paper will present the affects from two different felt layers, fiberglass and basalt, on the mechanical properties of metakaolin-based geopolymer prepared using potassium as the Group I cation. The mechanical properties of basalt and fiberglass felt reinforced potassium geopolymer were analyzed using 3-point bend tests and tensile tests.
