Study on frost resistance and abrasion resistance of fiber mesh reinforced concrete

Abstract

The frost resistance and abrasion resistance of the fiber mesh reinforced concrete under the simulated treatment of external environment were studied through the frost resistance test and abrasion test. The relative dynamic modulus, the amount of spalling per unit area, the amount of abrasion per unit area and abrasion depth were used as evaluation indexes. The result shows that the frost resistance and abrasion resistance of concrete can be enhanced by fiber mesh. For the frost resistance, enhancement effect of carbon fiber mesh is better than that of basalt fiber mesh, and better than that of aramid fiber mesh. For the abrasion resistance, enhancement effect of aramid fiber mesh is better than that of basalt fiber mesh, and better than that of carbon fiber mesh. On the whole, the frost resistance and abrasion resistance of basalt fiber mesh reinforced concrete are better. Therefore, basalt fiber mesh is recommended to strengthen the frost resistance and abrasion resistance of concrete in engineering practice.
