Abstract
Due to more strict environmental protection and greenhouse gas reduction, it is very important for all industries to appropriately manage their energy consumption. Fiber- reinforced cement composites are the popular building materials which consume enormous energy to intensify its chemical reaction during the autoclave steam curing process. Utilization of chemical admixture to replace the conventional energy-driven autoclave steam curing process will support the fiber- reinforced cement composites industry to develop sustainable building materials. In this research, typical and mechanical properties of the air-cured fiber- reinforced cement composites incorporated with alumino-silicate based accelerator were investigated. The results show an excellent positive correlation between the water-cement ratio of the mix design and the mechanical strength which is the optimum water-cement ratio for this FRCC are 0.53. Moreover, the properties of fiber- reinforced cement composites cured by either the autoclave steam curing process or air-curing process are comparable.
