The physical and mechanical properties of hemp-fibre-reinforced alkali-activated (AA) mortars under accelerated carbonation were evaluated. Two matrices of different physical and chemical properties, i.e., a low Ca-containing and less dense one with fly ash (FA) and a high Ca-containing and denser one with FA and granulated blast furnace slag (GBFS), were reinforced with fibres (10 mm, 0.5 vol% and 1.0 vol%). Under accelerated carbonation, due to the pore refinement resulting from alkali and alkaline earth salt precipitation, AA hemp fibre mortars markedly (20%) decreased their water absorption. FA-based hemp mortars increased significantly their compressive and flexural strength (40% and 34%, respectively), whereas in the denser FA/GBFS matrix (due to the hindered CO2 penetration, i.e., lower chemical reaction between CO2 and pore solution and gel products), only a slight variation (±10%) occurred. Under accelerated carbonation, embrittlement of the fibre/matrix interface and of the w...hole composite occurred, accompanied by increased stiffness, decreased deformation capacity and loss of the energy absorption capacity under flexure. FA-based matrices exhibited more pronounced embrittlement than the denser FA/GBFS matrices. A combination of FA/GBFS-based mortar reinforced with 0.5 vol% fibre dosage ensured an optimal fibre/matrix interface and stress transfer, mitigating the embrittlement of the material under accelerated carbonation.
