Comparison of Cement Mortars Reinforced with Spanish Broom Fibers Obtained by Sea Treatment and Mortar Reinforced by Glass and Polypropylene Fibers : Undergraduate Thesis

U današnje vrijeme se sve više teži ekološkom razvoju. Iz tog razloga se i u građevinarstvu sve više primjenjuju prirodna vlakna u zamjenu za sintetička vlakna, zbog svoje pristupačnosti. U ovom radu ispitani su uzorci cementnog morta, ojačani vlaknima brnistre dobivena morskom obradom, te uzorci ojačani polipropilenskim i staklenim vlaknima. Uzorci su ispitani na tlačnu i savojnu čvrstoću pri starosti od 28 dana, te su uspoređeni njihovi rezultati.Nowadays, there is more and more ecological development. For this reason, natural fibers are increasingly used in construction in exchange for synthetic fibers, due to their affordability. In this paper, samples specimens of cement mortar, reinforced broom fibers obtained by sea treatment, and samples specimens of cement mortar reinforced with polypropylene and glass fibers were used. The samples 28-days old specimens were tested for compressive and flexural strength, and their results were compared
