Tensile strength degradation

This paper presents an experimental investigation into the tensile strength degradation in curved glass and carbon reinforcement of TRC specimens. The results show that the ultimate tensile load decreases as the diameter of the semi-circle parts reduce. At the same diameter, the carbon TRC specimens have a higher tensile load-bearing capacity than glass textile-reinforced concrete.

The main goal of the present work is to study the mechanical response of glass/epoxy composites when exposed to cement and geopolymer (metakaolin) mortars, as it happens in Civil Engineering applications. For this purpose, specimens were embedded into mortar followed by a period of curing, which was done under the air laboratory environment. For cement, curing was also performed inside a container filled with water. The specimens were removed from the mortars after 30, 60 or 90 days of curing and then tested.
