Filler from Expanded Glass as a Light-Weighing Component of the Cement Composite with Fiber Reinforcement

Year: 2014

Type: article

Abstract: Bulk density reduction of the cement composite is possible by the means of using suitable light fillers in a matrix or porous structure creation with an air-entraining agent. Both ways are more or less suitable or effective for proper parameter achievement. From the range of possible fillers with different material properties and influence on rheological parameters during production granulated expanded glass worked the best. By the means of laboratory testing an effect of two fillers based on expanded glass on the fiber reinforced cement composite was verified. Practical applicability was tested in the production of commonly manufactured glass fiber reinforced concrete elements, such as channels for electrical cable deposition and products for urban equipment.
