| Abstract |
Strain hardening cement-based composite(SHCC) is a relatively new class of high performance fiber reinforced cement composites(HPFRCCs). The SHCC exhibits significant pseudo strain - hardening behaviour due to the controlling well the opening of the crack widths because of bridging action. In this paper, compressive properties of cement-based composites (CBCs) reinforced with polythylene terephthalate have been investigated by conforming to Korean Standard (KS). The CBCs contains the polyethylene terephthalate(PET), polyethylene (PE), and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) fiber. This paper reports the results of mechanical properties in terms of failure mode, strain - stress relationship, elasticity modulus characteristics, stiffness characteristics, dissipated energy characteristics. |
