Finite element analysis of glass fibre reinforced composites with inorganic phosphate cement matrix: comparison of inbuilt abaqus concrete models. Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Cement composites are promising particularly for the construction industry as they overcome crucial drawbacks of more commonly used polymer matrix composite materials. Contrarily to traditional organic resins (epoxy), the Inorganic Phosphate Cement (IPC), developed at Vrije Universiteit Brussel, is incombustible. The IPC matrix moreover has a neutral pH after hardening, such that it is not chemically aggressive for E-glass fibres, which are ...
