Abstract


Currently, the introducing of basalt and natural fibers into different geopolymer swift growth of geopolymers. Despite of geopolymers have good properties such as fire resistance, flame resistance, higher compressive strength and higher durability, they suffer from low tensile strength and flexural strength. Different types of fibers were used to increase flexural strength, tensile strength, fracture toughness and ductility of geopolymers. The current article goals to brief the available earlier studies focused on the effect of basalt fibers and different natural fibers on the properties of geopolymers.
