| Summary: | Experimental and analytical investigations for the modulus of elasticity of thin cement composite composed
of mesh and mortar are demonstrated. Based on the analyses and experimental data, new equations
for the modulus of elasticity of thin cement composite are proposed. It is observed that the
flexural modulus of elasticity of thin cement composite depends on the elastic modulus of mortar and
some factor of the difference of elastic modulus of mesh and mortar. Results obtained by using the proposed
equations are compared to those of the available equations. It has been found that the newly developed
equations give relatively conservative results as compared to the typically used ones. A comparison
between the analytical and experimental findings further indicates that there is a good agreement
between the analytical and experimental results. |
