Abstract

The mechanical properties of alkali resistance (AR) glass fiber reinforced cement(GFRC) under different curing conditions were investigated in this study. The specimens were formed by extrusion process, and then steam cured and autoclaved. An autoclaved specimen showed the elastic-brittle behavior up to 4% of fiber volume fraction. However, it was found that the fracture behavior for cured specimen was changed to the elastic-plastic with crack branches fracture at greater than 3 vol.% of fiber.
