Abstract
Tensile stress/strain characteristics of seven asbestos cements are described. The initial modulus of elasticity and the ultimate strength are shown to depend in a simple way on the void content and the fibre content. The influence of fibre length is illustrated, as is the effect of using untreated fibres. Cyclic loading tests show that stiffness and residual strain are functions of the maximum strain to which the material has been subjected. Comparisons are made with results of similar tests on glass-fibre reinforced cement composites
