Abrasion Resistance and Mechanism Analysis of Polyethylene Fiber-reinforced Cementitious Composite by ZI Jinjia, LI Weibin, WANG Jihong, WANG Zhiwen, LIU Yunjun, NONG Qingshun, LI Bixiong

“…However, the increase in fiber content led to the degradation of the interfacial bonding performance between aggregate and cement paste. MIP analysis showed that the porosity of the matrix increased with the increase in fiber content, and the pore distribution of the matrix was deteriorated, which affected the abrasion resistance of the material.ConclusionsWhen the fiber content increased from 0.5% to 2.0%, the flowability decreased from 285 mm to 160 mm. …”
