English Abstract

Some properties of cement-slurry strengthened with meshes was investigated.

Eighteen simply-supported laminated beam like specimens (500x100x20mm in dimensions) were tested under point load at mid-span.

Thirty six prisms and fifty four cubes were tested to conduct rupture and compressive strength of specimens respectively.

The variables were type and number of mesh.

Two type of meshes were used, galvanized and plastic.

Performance was gauged in terms of cracking characteristics, mid-span deflection, stiffness, and ultimate load capacity.

The experimental results showed that increasing volume fraction of meshes improved serviceability and flexural strength capacities.

Plastic meshes had significant effect on deflection and stiffness more than galvanized meshes.
