Strain-hardening geopolymer composites (SHGC) exhibit remarkable ductility, crack control and high energy dissipation capacity when subject to quasi-static tensile loading. However, their mechanical performance under dynamic loading has not yet been explored. A comprehensive assessment of possible r...
