Research of the fiber reinforced strain hardening cementitious composite with high volume of industrial by-products

Abstract

This work aims at experimental investigation of several variants of fiber reinforced cementitious composite with strain hardening made partially with industrial by-products. This paper describes the manufacturing, testing and evaluating the properties of the composite. Industrial waste produced mainly in Moravia-Silesia Region in the Czech Republic was used for the manufacturing of the fiber reinforced cementitious composite with strain hardening. The basic physical and mechanical properties were measured - volume density of wet and hardened composite, consistency, tensile, flexural and compressive strength and elastic modulus. The findings show that the fiber reinforced cementitious composite made partially with industrial by-products is a suitable material for sustainable constructions.
