This study demonstrated the feasibility of utilizing calcined clay (metakaolin) as a silica source for the development of polyethylene (PE) fiber-reinforced strain-hardening magnesium-silicate-hydrate composite (SHMSHC). The study also discussed the effects of variation in the Mg/Si ratio of the mix...
