EFFECT OF FIBRE DISTRIBUTION ON THE FATIGUE PERFORMANCE AND AUTOGENOUS SHRINKAGE OF CARDIFRC®
Abstract This paper describes a recent fatigue performance check on the high performance fibre-reinforced cementitious composite CARDIFRC®. It is shown that an even distribution of fibres throughout the bulk of the material is crucial to its excellent fatigue performance. Moreover, the even distribution of fibres is also a key factor in the reduction of the autogenous shrinkage strains in this material. The aim of this investigation is to reveal the reason behind the low fatigue life and large scatter in the autogenous shrinkage strains of CARDIFRC, when large test specimens were used. It is confirmed to be due to poor distribution of fibres in the large specimens.
