ENGINEERED GEOPOLYMER CONCRETE USING CHOPPED COCONUT FIBERS

Many efforts and research have been done to discover alternative material to replace Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) throughout the years. OPC has been well known by the industry due to its high compressive strength and high durability characteristics. However, producing OPC brings along tons of disa...
