Discussion on the suitability of dynamic constitutive models for prediction of geopolymer concrete structural responses under blast and impact loading

Compared to ordinary Portland cement-based concrete (OPC), geopolymer concrete (GPC) is an environmental-friendly construction material because it is mixed by replacing Portland cement with industry wastes such as fly ash. Despite intensive researches in the last two decades, application of geopolymer concrete in construction is still rather limited. One of the reasons is the quasi-static and dynamic material properties of geopolymer concrete,...
