Geopolymer concrete (GPC) structural members reinforced with FRP reinforcement have some advantages in resisting forces compared to conventional concrete or steel tubular members. Among the most important are the high strength and bending stiffness, fire and impact performance and favourable, construction ability and durability. Geopolymer concrete has high resistance to corrosion to chloride and sulphate slats in a marine environment and the FRP reinforcement is non-corrosive.
Unfortunately, there are no significant applications of this new structural elements worldwide, partly due to the lack of the understanding of their behaviour and insufficient design provisions in different design manuals.
Accordingly, this book focuses on their static and impact structural behaviour in particular compressive, bending strength and combined action of GPC members and is based on published studies in the last two decades. OPC and GPC members will be very soon currently recommended structural members in modern buildings.
