dc.description.abstractThis study investigates the impact of Bacillus subtilis and PET fiber additions on the mechanical properties of alkali-activated composite mortars (AACMs). Blast furnace slag (BFS) is used as the primary binder, activated by sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and sodium silicate (Na2SiO3). Controlled curing conditions at 20( degrees )C and 100 % relative humidity for 28 days were maintained. Comprehensive tests, including compressive strength, flexural strength, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analyses, were conducted. Results showed that AACMs incorporating Bacillus subtilis exhibited a 25 % increase in compressive strength and a 20 % increase in flexural strength compared to control samples. The addition of PET fibers further improved these properties by 10 % and 8 %, respectively. These findings highlight the potential of bio-enhanced alkali-activated materials in sustainable construction.
