This study investigates the tensile performance a one-part strain hardening geopolymer composite (SHGC) reinforced by ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene (PE) fibers. The developed composite as a “dry mix” uses a small amount of solid activator rather than large quantities of commonly used alka...
