Abstract

Mechanical properties of fibre reinforced cementitious materials partly depend on the dispersion characteristics of the micro-reinforcement. Fibres of different materials and different sizes are employed. This paper concentrates on steel wire reinforcement. It deals with the methodology of determining experimentally global as well as local 3-D features. The mechanical model is designed 011 the basis of mechanisms of damage evolution derived from image analysis studies.
