Experimental Study on Mechanics Performance of Polyvinyl Alcohol Fiber Reinforced Cement-Based Composites

Polyvinyl alcohol fiber reinforced cement-based composites are a new kind of material based on micro mechanics design. It is produced by adding polyvinyl alcohol fiber in the cement-based composites. In efforts to study the mechanical properties of polyvinyl alcohol fiber reinforced cement-based composites, some specimens were tested to examine performances. According to experimental investigation on mechanical properties, the stress-strain relationship curves and failure patterns are obtained. The test indicates that polyvinyl alcohol fiber reinforced cement-based composites have better toughness and fracture energy, and it has superior physical mechanical performance.
