Abstract:Moisture movement and aggressive ions being transferred into a fiber-reinforced cement composite structure have negative effects in terms of mechanical properties and durability. When an aluminum hybrid additive (AHA) is incorporated into a fiber-reinforced cement composite composition, its reaction product provides a water-repellent layer along the capillary pores, resulting in a damp-proofing effect. In this study, the influences of AHA on the hydration reaction kinetics and microstructural features were cha… Show more
