Abstract

Cellulose fiber reinforced cement(CFRC) pipe has been gradually introduced in the pipe market as a replacement of previously popular asbestos cement pipes. Since CFRC pipe is still relatively unknown in the pipe market, there are great concerns for the design and application in practice related to the time-dependent behavior of CFRC under long-term sustained loading. This paper presents an experimental investigation of the time-dependent behavior of cellulose fiber reinforced cement(CFRC) pipe. A total of six CFRC pipes were tested under various loading levels, and their vertical deformation was recorded to understand the characteristics of the time-dependent behavior. Based on the test results, a factor of safety(FS) of 1.82 is proposed, and a regression factor(R) of 1.88 is estimated for the application of CFRC pipes in practice.
