In the framework of the project a comprehensive design concept is developed for ecologocally and economically sustainable composites with a sufficiently high protective capacity against impact loading. The project deals with resource-saving binder systems, such as geopolymers and Limestone Calcined Clay Cements – LC³. Requirements towards the fresh-state properties of the investigated composites are formulated in the context of their automated processing. Furthermore, the influence of the rheological properties and application technology on their mechanical performance in hardened state are investigated. As a more sustainable and less expensive alternative to the high-performance polymer fibers commonly used in SHCC (Strain-hardening cement-based composites), short-cut polypropylene (PP) fibers are investigated as discrete fiber reinforcement.
