β¦ Synopsis
The work of fracture, YF, and the critical stress intensity factor Kc, have been determined for the failure in bending of notched samples of sand/cement mortar reinforced with short, randomlydistributed fibres of glass, high carbon steel, and mild steel. Results were obtained on wet and dry stored material after 7 weeks and again after 6 months curing. There is clear evidence that the highest fracture resistance is obtained in the long term by reinforcement with mild steel. However, whereas the work of fracture of plain concrete can be increased by two orders of magnitude by adding as little as 2 vol. % of steel wires, the more critical parameter K c is increased at most by a factor of 2. Glass fibre raises YF by a factor of only 40. The experimental values of "(F for wire reinforced concrete are compared with theoretical estimates based on considerations of fibre pull-out and fibre deformation.

Messungen wurden nach 7 Wochen sowie nach 6 Monaten Trocken-und Feuchtlagerung durch geftlhrt. Ganz offensichtlich wird die h~Schste Bruchfestigkeit auf lange Sicht bei Verst~irkung mit Weichstahl erzielt. W~lhrend jedoch die Brucharbeit von gewbhnlichem Beton dutch geringe Zus/ttze yon 2 Volumenprozent Stahldraht um zwei GrSssenordnungen erhSht werden kann, wird der noch wichtigere Kerbspannungsfaktor hSchstens verdoppelt. Durch Glasfasern wird ~(F nur auf das vierzigfache erhSht. Die f[ir drahtverst~irkten Beton gemessenen Werte yon YF werden mit theoretischen Absch~ttzungen in denen das Herausziehen und die Deformation der Fasern ber[icksichtigt ist, verglichen.

## Abstract **Summary:** Syntactic foams containing 0.9, 1.76, 2.54, 3.54 and 4.5 vol.β% of Eβglass fibres in the form of chopped strands were processed and subjected to threeβpoint bending tests. The results showed that introduction of chopped strand fibres into the syntactic foam system increased
