Innovative Application of Interwoven Fiberglass Mesh to Strengthen Lightweight Foamed Concrete

This paper discusses the innovative application of interwoven fiberglass mesh (FM) to strengthen lightweight foamed concrete (LFC). Two samples having 600kg/m3 and 1200kg/m3 densities were prepared and evaluated. The study evaluated tensile, compressive, and flexural strength. Synthetic textile fabr...
