MECHANICAL PERFORMANCE OF GLASS TEXTILE REINFORCED CEMENTITIOUS COMPOSITES

Nowadays, many types of research are conducted to investigate the behavior of reinforced concrete by using rebars, but few of them have investigated the performance of composite reinforced by glass textile and the state of the art technology require information about the mechanical performance of glass textile. In order to have an idea about this sophisticated issue, many researchers need to be regulated. During this part of research, it was conducted the minislump test to find optimum mix design proportion with the different range of GGBFS, water/binder, and superplasticizer, then compressive strength test was applied after all, flexural strength test was performed by three points bending test. The main goal of this research is around application and usage of reinforced composites with glass textile in the flats which carry higher loads against bending pressure.
