Strengthening Mechanism of Geopolymer Lightweight Cellular Concrete Reinforced with Glass Fibers

Geopolymer lightweight cellular concrete (GLCC) combines the advantages of geopolymer and LCC but also suffers from the inherent deficiency of low strength, which can be improved by introducing suitable reinforcing materials such as fibers. This paper investigated the mechanical properties and microstructure of fly ash-slag-based GLCC reinforced with glass fibers (GLCCRGF), aiming to reveal the strengthening mechanism of glass fibers. The effects of different fiber contents (0.0, 0.3, 0.6, 0.9, and 1.2
