Characterization Methods for Polypropylene Fibre-Reinforced Cement MortarComposites

摘要

Concrete, cement mortar and their constituents as well as polypropylene fibreprocessing and the main properties of fibres are outlined. Principles of mechanical modelling of fibre concrete and mortar are discussed. A surface chemical approach is also presented. Test methods for studying polypropylene fibre mortar composites are outlined both theoretically and experimentally, especially in regard to frost and fire resistance, mechanical properties and microstructure. Methods for identification and characterization of fibres are also discussed. (Copyright (c) Valtion teknillinen tutkimuskeskus (VTT) 1993.
