In recent years, the construction industry has seen a paradigm shift towards sustainable and innovative materials. One such groundbreaking development is the emergence of Engineered Geopolymer Composites (EGCs) high-performance, environmentally friendly materials that exhibit exceptional strength and durability. This article delves into the bond-slip behavior and optimization analysis of a room-temperature-cured, high-strength PVA-engineered geopolymer composite, exploring its characteristics, advantages, and potential applications. EGCs represent a class of advanced materials derived from geopolymerization, a process that involves the chemical reaction between aluminosilicate precursors and an alkaline solution. This reaction results in a threedimensional, polymeric network with excellent mechanical properties. The addition of Polyvinyl Alcohol (PVA) further enhances the structural integrity, durability, and bond strength of geopolymeric matrices.
