HIGH PERFORMANCE FIBER REINFORCED CEMENT COMPOSITES: CLASSIFICATION AND APPLICATIONS
HIGH PERFORMANCE FIBER REINFORCED CEMENT COMPOSITES: CLASSIFICATION AND APPLICATIONS
ABSTRACT: Although fiber reinforced cement (FRC) composites have been classifiedaccording to many criteria, such as the fiber material (steel, synthetic, natural organic) orthe level of performance, a general, simple and convenient classification has been recentlysuggested. It is based on the response of the composite under tensile loading, which canbe described as either strain softening after first cracking, or strain hardening. Such aclassification suggests a level of performance irrespective of the fiber type, fiber content,or matrix composition. After explaining this terminology and its implications, it is suggestedthat strain-hardening FRC composites are particularly suitable for structural…
