Abstract
In this study, alumina coated steel reinforced geopolymer composites were successfully fabricated and their interfacial and mechanical properties were investigated. The fiber–matrix interface characteristics were assessed using single-fiber push-out and water contact angle experiments as well as SEM-EDS analysis. Finally, the role of alumina coating on the compressive, flexural and toughness of the geopolymer composites was investigated. The morphological studies revealed that alumina coating on steel can chemically bonded and microstructurally integrated with the surrounding matrix. The push-out test showed that the interfacial shear strength was increased approximately 150% in composites...

Abstract
In this work, slag based aluminosilicate geopolymer was reinforced with polymeric fibers including, polyester (PES) (waste tire cap plies), polymeric particles including polyethylene terephthalate (PET) (waste water bottle), styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR) (waste tire), and polyvinyl chloride (PVC) (waste water hose). The tensile and compressive strength of the material was evaluated. Taguchi method was employed to assess the influence of the effective parameters on the mechanical characteristics of the geopolymer composite. QUALITEK-4 software was used to create the L32 orthogonal array with 192 (96+96) geopolymer specimens and 32+32 experiments. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) was utilized to...
