Moisture Effects on Cellulose Fiber Reinforced Concrete Properties

Abstract:

ASTM C78, the Flexural Strength tests were conducted on Cellulose Fiber Reinforced Concrete (CFRC) samples subjected to difference moisture-levels to quantify the effect of moisture on them. Results indicated that modulus elasticity did not change along the increase in moisture. However, flexural strength and yield strength appeared to be affected under certain conditions.
