Description

Advanced Fiber-Reinforced Alkali-Activated Composites: Design, Mechanical Properties, and Durability covers various fiber types and their usage as a sustainable material as well as their influence on mechanical properties and behavior, including compressive strength, tensile strength, flexural strength, and impact and bond resistance. Their durability in different environments (seawater, magnesium sulphate, sulphuric acid, elevated temperature, corrosive) is also discussed. The book also outlines a variety of mix design and curing regimes for alkali-activated composites. The additive manufacturing of these composites is also covered.

Different types of fiber-reinforced alkali-activated composites discussed include steel fiber-reinforced, carbon fiber-reinforced, natural fiber-reinforced, synthetic fiber-reinforced, and others.

Key features

  • Discusses different fiber types and their effects on alkali-activated composite materials
  • Includes coverage of compressive strength, tensile strength, flexural strength, impact and bond resistance, and more
  • Investigates the durability of these materials, studying how they perform in seawater, elevated temperature environments, and under sulphuric acid attacks
  • Covers the shrinkage resistance, permeability and corrosion performance of these materials

Readership

Engineers, material scientists, and researchers, industry professionals working in the production of alkali-activated composites, Undergraduate and graduate students in materials science and engineering related fields of study
