| Abstract: | The aim of this work is to understand the bonding characteristics between various yarn structures and cement matrix which was studied by yarn pull out test. In this work, the effect of accelerated ageing under alkaline environment for different types of fibers i.e. Basalt, Polypropylene, Polyester, and Jute is studied in order to comparatively evaluate their weight loss and reduction of tensile strength. SEM images are also used for studying the morphology of alkali degraded fibers. Material characterization can also be done by FTIR, XRD, ICP, Zeta potential, and UV spectrometer. |
