dc.description.abstractThis research provides an experimental investigation on the properties of fiber reinforced composite materials consisting of lightweight expanded clay aggregates (LECA) and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) fibers. The influence of temperature (room temperature, 250 degrees C, and 500 degrees C) on the lightweight geopolymer mortar (LWGM) composite materials is also explored. LECA is used as a partial replacement to river sand with 60% and 80%. The base material utilized for LWGM is slag activated by a mixture of sodium silicate and sodium hydroxide solutions. The fresh properties in terms of workability and density were performed. A series of experiments, such as compression, flexural and uniaxial tensile strength tests, were executed to assess the mechanical properties of LWGM composite materials. In addition, the microscopic variations due to the elevated temperature were also evaluated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) to understand the macro-scale behavior of the samples. The results indicated that increasing the level of LECA replacement caused a reduction in the density and compressive strength of the LWGM. Also, incorporating a 1% PVA fiber volume fraction significantly enhanced the flexural and uniaxial tensile behavior of LWGM composite materials. The compressive strength enhancements were observed at 250 degrees C due to further geopolymerization, while compressive strength reductions were obtained at 500 degrees C due to the vapor impact and difference in thermal expansion. In addition, the load-carrying capacity of all samples increased, and displacement capacity decreased under flexural tests at 250 degrees C. However, the ductile behavior of the PVA incorporating specimens changed to brittle due to the melting of PVA fibers.en_US
