When it comes to lowering carbon emissions due to the production of cement, geopolymer concrete holds great promise as an environmentally friendly alternative to conventional cement-based concrete. Due to the variation in its material constituents, building codes do not yet mandate any specific norm for its mechanical properties. In the meantime, since reinforced concrete with steel reinforcements has taken up the tensile contribution, the behavior of concrete under tension has little bearing on construction designs. However, it might not be accurate to disregard concrete's tensile strength for analyses meant to identify structural responses. With reference to the tension stiffening phenomenon of reinforcing steel embedded in a cylindrical self-compacting geopolymer concrete (SCGC) with certain dimensions, the goal of this work is to examine the tensile behavior of SCGC. The behavior of this specimen under tension, including its strength and the relationship between stress and strain, as well as its crack pattern and failure mechanism, is determined via uniaxial tensile testing, considering tension stiffening phenomena. Following normalization, the results are compared to the tensile performance of conventional concrete under identical circumstances and evaluated against the standard building code.
