ABSTRACT
Continuous reinforcement of cementitious matrices is particularly attractive for fabrication of thin elements, where cement paste or mortar is impregnated into a fabric. Earlier interest in this kind of reinforcement was driven by the need to develop new thin sheet components, that could serve as replacements for asbestos cement, or provide thin sheets with improved performance, especially with regard to toughness [1-20]. New types of reinforcements were studied and developed for these purposes, and the mechanical properties of the composites as well as production technologies were explored.
