DURABILITY OF FIBER GLASS-PORTLAND CEMENT COMPOSITES

THE DURABILITY OF FIBER GLASS PROTECTED WITH EPOXY-PHENOL COATINGS IN PORTLAND CEMENT MORTAR WAS INVESTIGATED. AGING AND STRESS CORROSION TESTS TO 2 YEARS, INDICATE NORMAL FIBER GLASS MUST BE PROTECTED COMPLETELY WITH A PINHOLE FREE COATING TO WITHSTAND ALKALI ATTACK OVER LONG PERIODS, AS WELL AS A COATING WHICH WILL MIGRATE INTO THE MORTAR TO AFFORD GOOD BOND STRENGTH. /AUTHOR/
