Abstract: The object of the present paper was to quantify the effect of crimping of a low modulus polymer yarn on the bonding with a cement paste matrix. Crimping of this kind has been evaluated within the context of optimizing the ...

Abstract: There is growing interest in the effect of processing methods on the properties of cement composites. The present work compares two processing methods: casting and extrusion. The effects of high fly-ash content (70% by ...

Abstract: Cracks in cementitious materials can substantially increase fluid penetration. Fiber reinforcement can reduce the crack width in cementitious materials, thereby reducing fluid transport. Substantial research has been ...
