| Abstract: | Tests are reported on the flexural creep behaviour and flexural strength characteristics of mortar specimens reinforced with 5.0% by weight glass fibres. The specimens were cut off from flat sheet materials produced by premixing and spray suction casting processes. It is shown that fibre reinforcement reduced the deflections under sustained flexural load. The results show unmistakably a very significant influence of the fibre reinforcement in reducing creep strains. Fibres were generally more effective in controlling compression creep than tensile creep. Strength reductions were observed with time which were insignificant in specimens produced with the spray suction method. |
