ABSTRACT

Low-alkaline, low-shrinkage cement made with calcium silicates, calcium sulfoaluminate, anhydrite, and blast furnace slag (CGC cement) have recently been developed in Japan for use in glass fiber reinforced concrete (GFRC). This paper presents the results of comprehensive tests which evaluated the mechanical properties, durability, and dimensional behaviors of GFRC made with CGC (GFRC-CGC). The flexible anchor pull-out strength of the material is also discussed. Also, the durability of GFRC-CGC was ascertained by means of accelerated aging and natural weathering tests.
