Abstract

Globally, the greenhouse gas effect is a serious environmental concern. The cement sector is responsible for 5-8% of global greenhouse gas emissions. Geopolymer concrete is a low-carbon, low-sulfur alternative to traditional Portland cement concrete. Geopolymer concrete is created when alumino-silicate minerals react with alkaline liquids. The sisal fiber can be utilized to improve the inherent qualities of Geopolymer concrete. The main purpose of this research is to look at the behavior of sisal-fibered geopolymer concrete in several trials and show how it differs from regular Portland cement concrete. The fiber has optimal fiber content, according to the test results


Keywords: Eco-friendly geopolymer concrete, Sisal fiber, Mechanical properties
