Efficacy of Foamed Concrete Jacketing Using Innovative Fibreglass Fabric for Durability Properties Improvement

His study intended to observe the effectiveness of foamed concrete jacketing using fibreglass fabric with the goal to enhance its durability properties. LFC of two densities of 500 kg/m3 and 1000 kg/m3 were cast and tested. The LFC specimens were wrapped with 1 layer, 2 layers and 3 layers of fibreg...
