Abstract

Now a days, the major goals of latest investigations are to minimize greenhouse gas emission and reduce the energy required for production of materials in construction industries. The manufacturing process of ordinary Portland cement emits greenhouse gases. Geopolymer binder is an eco-friendly material, good alternative to ordinary Portland cement. In this study, geopolymer mortar contains fly ash, natural fibres, fine aggregates and activator solutions. The activator solutions are combination of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and sodium silicate (Na2SiO3). The purpose of this study is to briefly review the activator solution and mechanical properties of fibre reinforced geopolymer mortar.
