Journal of Materials Science Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

The multiple fibre pull-out test developed at the Building Research Establishment for determining the bond strength between glass fibre strands and cement is described. Data are presented on bond strength as a function of time and storage condition for Cem-FIL 2 fibre and compared with data for Cem-FIL fibre. The results are discussed.
