This work reports the mechanical, durability and insulating properties of novel geopolymer
composites made of iron-rich laterite and sugarcane bagasse fibers with sodium silicate as a …

Mineral-impregnated, carbon fiber composites (MCF) are a promising alternative to
conventional concrete reinforcements. For the efficient industrial production of MCF …

In Brazil, the sludge generated in water treatment plants (WTPs) has no economic value and
since it is composed of silicon and aluminum oxides, it can be used in the production of …

Strain-hardening cementitious composites (SHCC) are known by their high deformation
capacity due to a multiple cracking tolerance under increasing tensile loading. While SHCC …

In the development of new products, both the use of residues and the use of renewable
materials are important strategies for a more circular production. However, it is not enough …

In this study, it has been aimed to obtain the fly ash+ ground granulated blast furnace slag
