The preparation of carbon fiber-reinforced cement-based composites involved two-step dispersions of carbon fibers. Both steps affected greatly the mechanical properties of the composites. With the aid of ultrasonic wave, a new dispersant hydroxyethyl cellulose was used to help fiber dispersion in th

β¦ Synopsis
Depending on process route, fibers for composite reinforcement typically have some degree of variation in diameter. This paper examines the effect of varying fiber diameter on properties of cement-based matrix composites such as first crack strength, fracture energy, and ultimate tensile strength. The analytical development of fiber bridging action across matrix cracks accounts for fibers that pull-out and fibers which rupture. Model calculations reveal that within reasonable limits, composite properties should not decay due to fiber diameter variations.
