Abstract: This research was focused on slag based geopolymer concrete with addition of steel fibre in flat slabs systems, to improve concrete properties such as flexural toughness, shear strength, impact characteristics, deflection capacity, stiffness, and concrete ductility.
In this paper investigate the effect of steel fiber ratio on punching shear resistance and cracking behavior of reinforced concrete flat slabs and geopolymer concrete flat slabs.
A total of 24 slabs were tested in this study.....
