Enhancement Mechanism of Strength, Toughness, and Crack Resistance of Cementitious Mortars by Glass Fiber and Epoxy Resin Adhesive

Abstract

AbstractCement-based materials possess good compressive properties but are brittle and have low tensile strength. Hence, this study uses glass fiber (GF) and epoxy resin adhesive as reinforcing materials to configure glass fiber–reinforced mortar (GFRM). ...The Graphical Abstract consists of three parts. The upper half of the first section illustrates that the demolition and reconstruction of buildings can lead to carbon emissions, while the lower half shows that retrofitting and reinforcing buildings with ...
