In this study, the hardened properties and spraying characteristics of ultra high strength fiber-reinforced mortar mixed with copper fibers along with nylon fibers and polypropylene fibers are examined. The chemical fibers are added in the expectation that they will prevent cracking during initial curing. It is confirmed that, even with the addition of chemical fibers, the fresh properties of the mortar are similar to those of formulations containing only copper fibers. It is also found spray-application of this formulation achieves sufficient application thickness and that on-site application would be possible.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
