Analysis of the strengthenings of mixed glass fibers e and fibers AR in plaster, as an alternative to monofiber (homogeneous) strengthenings

Abstract

The company Vetrotex in collaboration with the Department of Architectural Constructions and their control (E.U.A.T) of the Polytechnic University of Madrid, have deeply researched on plaster strengthened with glass fiber E. The conclusions of the influence of the dispersibility of glass fiber in the compound mechanical behavior and in its workability have been published in an earlier article (1). Here now are the results and conclusions of a study on mixed strengthenings of glass fibers E and AR combined at a 50%, as an alternative to the homogenous strengthening.
