Reaction Of Alkali-Resistant Glass Fibres With Cement. Part 1, Review, Assessment, And Microscopy

New data on the mechanism of deterioration of glass-fibre reinforced cement have been obtained by curing the fibre in cements for up to 90 days at 20 and 55 degrees C. The predominant mechanisms are hydroxylation and dissolution of the glass, and notching by Ca(OH)2 crystals growing at the cement paste-fibre interface.
