Compressive Behaviours of Concrete Cylinders Wrapped with 2-D Glass Fabrics

摘要

Concrete cylinders wrapped with glass fabrics of various constructions were fabricated. Compressive behaviours of cylinders with and without fabric wrapping were investigated. Comparisons of the compressive characters while using different fabrication parameters were made. It was demonstrated that the effect of the fabric reinforcement was obvious. The tensile strength of the filament used in the fabric played an important role as far as the anti-compression behaviour of the reinforced cylinders is concerned.
