Abstract
The development of glass fibre compositions having sufficient alkali resistance to provide useful reinforcement in Portland cement and, at the same time, being capable of commercial scale fibrizing, is described. Chemical tests for alkali resistance were used in an initial evaluation of glass compositions, which were then further assessed by strength retention measurements in alkaline solutions and in cement. The different types of tests gave different results in some instances and indicated the need for thorough and wide ranging assessment techniques when evaluating and proving glass fibres for cement reinforcement.Keywords
