Mechanical and Microstructural Characterization of Geopolymer Concrete Incorporating Copper Slag and Jute Fibre

Puntos clave

• Geopolymer concrete demonstrates improved mechanical properties with the addition of copper slag and jute fibre.
• Incorporating 20% copper slag led to a 25% increase in compressive strength compared to standard concrete.
• The microstructural characterization used scanning electron microscopy to analyze the effects of copper slag and jute fibre.
• These findings suggest environmentally friendly options for concrete production through sustainable materials.
