Study of the Bending Behaviour of Textile Reinforced Cementitious Composites When Exposed to High Temperatures Vrije Universiteit Brussel
The textile reinforced cement composite (TRC) used in this study has inorganic phosphate cement (IPC) as matrix, and randomly distributed chopped glass fibre textile as reinforcement. One of the major benefits of IPC compared to other cementitious materials is the non-alkaline environment of IPC after hardening, so ordinary E-glass fibres are not attacked by the matrix and can be used as reinforcement. By using a fibre volume fraction which ...
