Abstract: Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) fibers are commonly added to fiber-reinforced geopolymer composites (FRGC) to enhance their properties; however, systematic research on the dynamic mechanical properties of polyvinyl alcohol fiber-reinforced geopolymer composites (PVA-FRGC) is still required. In this study, an orthogonal experimental design was adopted to investigate the effects of the fly ash/slag ratio, fiber length, and fiber volume content on the dynamic mechanical properties (dynamic compressive strength, fragmentation degree, and energy absorption capacity) of PVA-FRGC. A split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB) was used to test the dynamic mechanical properties of the material. The results indicate that the fly ash/slag ratio, fiber length, and fiber volume content all exert significant effects on the dynamic compressive strength and energy absorption capacity of PVA-FRGC. The addition of PVA fibers significantly improves the dynamic compressive strength of PVA-FRGC, which reaches 157.52 MPa, 183.26 MPa, and 210.68 MPa under three different strain rates ranging from 75.4 s−1 to 179.6 s−1, respectively. Although the energy absorption capacity of PVA-FRGC is not significantly improved, the integrity of the specimens after fragmentation is remarkably enhanced. Specifically, under the three load levels, the average particle sizes of PVA-FRGC are 241.43%, 245.04%, and 127.80% higher than those of plain geopolymers, respectively. Considering the comprehensive dynamic mechanical properties, a fly ash/slag ratio of 5:5, a fiber length of 9 mm, and fiber volume content of 2.0% can be regarded as the local optimal mix proportion.
