Experimental Investigation of the Interface between Synthetic and Glass Fibers and Lime-Based Mortars

Abstract:

In this article, the cohesion between fiber reinforcement and lime-based mortar is experimentally investigated using so-called pullout test. The experiment is based on the progressive pulling out of the fiber from the matrix. Comparing the experimental load-displacement diagram with the theoretical curve from the analytical model, the micromechanical parameters describing the fiber-matrix interface are evaluated. In the study, several types of synthetic and glass fibers are considered as well as two types of lime-based mortars. The first one is pure lime, while the second one has lime-metakaolin matrix.
