The existing strain-hardening magnesium-silicate-hydrate composites (SHMSHCs) utilize a magnesium-silicate-hydrate (MSH) paste-based cementitious matrix, using significant binder content, thus prone to higher embodied energy and carbon footprint. In this study, authors have explored the feasibility...
