Sodium metasilicate-activated one-part geopolymer concrete: Impact strength assessment with bottom ash substitution and fiber reinforcement

This study aims to investigate the effect of fibers on the impact strength of fibrous one-part geopolymer concrete (OPGC) to mitigate its brittleness. This research examines the impact strength of OPGC activated with sodium metasilicate pentahydrate, utilizing fly ash as a precursor material. The st...
