DOI: 10.1016/j.compstruct.2017.01.085
Abstract: Abstract Strain hardening cementitious concrete is a type of fibre reinforced concrete with enhanced mechanical properties, including strain hardening and ductility. Geopolymer (cement-free) materials represent promising more sustainable alternatives to ordinary Portland cement. Heat treatment… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.conbuildmat.2020.119697
Abstract: Abstract Geopolymer technology has allowed the development of eco-friendly construction materials with high mechanical properties using industrial wastes and residues. However, geopolymers show fragility and low ductility behavior similar to Portland cement-based materials. This article… read more here.
