dc.description.abstractThis study investigated the fracture behaviour of multi-layer ferrocement composite slabs with partial replacement of tire rubber powder as filler utilizing acoustic emission (AE) technique for characterization. Ferrocement slab specimens prepared using normal-compact cement mortar, self-compact cement mortar, fly ash, and rubberized self-compact cement mortar –with varying steel mesh reinforcement layers– were statically loaded to failure. The inclusion of 10% rubber powder (by weight) was found capable of altering the failure mode of composite slabs from brittle to ductile with a slight reduction in the ultimate flexural strength. Fracture development of the specimens was closely monitored using AE for enhanced characterization. It is seemingly evident that the measured AE parameters could be effectively processed to distinguish different modes of fracture. The collected AE data was utilized to quantify stiffness reduction in the specimens due to progressive damage.
