Mechanical characterization of bamboo and glass fiber hybrid composite material

Natural fibers are appealing due to its inexpensive price, small weight, and high specific modulus, renewable nature, as well as biodegradability. Bamboo fibers is one of the most promising natural fibers (along with jute, sisal, bamboo, coir, banana, and others) owing to its low cost, light weight, quick growing cycle, and wide availability. The goal of this paper is to look into fibers orientation reinforced hybrid polymer nano composites that combine BAMBOO/E-GLASS and epoxy polymer in the ratios of E-glass fibre80 percent +bamboo 20 percent, E-glass Fibre70 percent +bamboo 30 percent, and E-glass Fibre60 percent +bamboo 40 percent of volume. The mechanical characteristics will be calculated by performing tests on the specimen's tension, hardness, and flexural qualities in line with ASTM standards. Finally, the values are verified when the testing results have been obtained.

Influence of single and multi-walled CNT on the mechanical performance of glass fiber hybrid polymer composites

The structural materials of the twenty-first century have evolved with the inclusion of nano scale materials which can be utilized to improve the performances of the materials significantly. One of such widely adopted nano material is carbon nano tubes (CNTs) which can further be categorized as single walled and multi walled CNTs (SWCNT and MWCNT). Similarly, glass fiber reinforced polymer composites (GFRP) are a promising material for a wide range of applications, including automotive parts, aircraft components, boat hulls, wind turbine blades, and construction materials. Research by material designers continues to explore new avenues for further improving properties of GFRP composites by using nanomaterials and other advanced materials. In the present work, a new class of polymeric composite material is developed with different filler loading (i.e., 1% to 5% with a step of 1%) of single and multi-walled CNT with glass fiber as reinforcement phase. The tensile and flexural strengths of the hybrid nano composites were determined. The incorporation of CNT with glass fiber epoxy composites strengthened the matrix phase thereby enhancing the tensile and flexural strengths of the developed composites. Further, the obtained experimental findings outlined that the multi walled carbon nano tube filler provided optimum tensile and flexural strength among developed composites due to the better interphase bonding with multi walled structure of MWCNT filler structure. Further, the microscopic analysis of the fractured surfaces was conducted to analyze different mechanisms leading to failure of composite materials during loading.

Impact of water diffusion on electrical properties of epoxy nanocomposites

This study investigates the effects of water ageing at 80 °C on glass fibre hybrid epoxy nanocomposites with multi-walled carbon nanotubes and graphene nanoplatelets. Effect of water uptake in the epoxy matrix is mitigated by the inclusion of carbon nanofillers, leading to improved hydrophobic nature. A comparative study is performed on the water uptake of the epoxy-amine matrix cured with aliphatic amine, with 0.4 weight percent of MWCNT and 0.6 weight percent of graphene nanoplatelets (GNPs). Gravimetric assessment and electrical impedance measurements are carried out over a period of 3000 h to assess water diffusion coefficients and water saturation. Water absorption is measured until saturation, and results show that the water diffusion coefficient of the hybrid nanocomposites is increased from 2.51 × 10−8 (m2 s−1) at 27 °C to 3.32 × 10−8 (m2 s−1) at 80 °C and it is higher than that of the base epoxy composites. Cole–Cole diagrams have revealed heterogeneity of the composites studied. Water diffusion results in the plasticization of the matrix, and it manifests in the broadening of the tanδ peak observed in water-aged epoxy composites. With the inclusion of hybrid MWCNT and GNP nanofillers.,the water diffusion coefficient is reduced to half, and saturation is increased by four times.

A topological weakening and softening map as simplified tool to assess the performances recovery of hybridized natural fiber reinforced composites subjected to alternate salt-fog/dry cycle

While receiving a growing attention in recent years, natural fibers cannot completely replace synthetic fibers as composite reinforcement for structural applications due to both their low durability in wet or humid environments and their limited and not homogenous overall performance. In this context, the purpose of this paper is to assess the impact of a humid/dry cycle on the mechanical stability of epoxy-based laminates reinforced with flax and glass fibers by using a topological weakening and softening map as simplified tool. The objective is, preliminarily, to evaluate the influence of glass fiber hybridization on the properties recovery of flax fiber reinforced composites subjected to alternate salt-fog/dry cycle. All laminates studied were subjected to salt spray for 15 or 30 days, and then stored in a dry controlled environment (50% relative humidity and 22 °C) for up to 21 days. The results evidenced that, compared to flax fiber reinforced composites, the glass hybridization of flax composite significantly reduce the mechanical performances degradation over time during the humid stage (about 28.0% better than flax one in stiffness). Furthermore, the mechanical performance recovery is promoted during the dry stage. A simplified topological map was lastly developed to graphically assess the decline and recovery of composites’ performances during the humid/dry cycle, amplifying the application and design effects of this approach.

Flexural and shear performance of geopolymer concrete reinforced with hybrid glass fibers

Influence of glass fiber hybridization on flexural and water absorption behaviour of banana fiber reinforced epoxy composites

The majority of vehicle constructions used in the aviation, automotive, and marine industries are subject to various loads. These constructions are more vulnerable to flexural stress, as can be observed. Under the influence of flexural loads, structures can gradually suffer harmful deterioration. The resistance of curved banana/glass fiber reinforced hybrid composites to flexural stress is very important. This research is aimed to examine the influence of glass fiber hybridization on flexural and water uptake percentage of banana fiber reinforced epoxy composites. Glass fiber is a manmade fiber composed mainly of silica, known for its high strength, rigidity, and resistance to heat and chemicals. Banana fiber, in contrast, is a natural fiber derived from the banana plant, offering moderate strength, flexibility, and biodegradability. Glass fiber finds applications in industries requiring strong and durable materials, while banana fiber is sought after for its sustainable and eco-friendly characteristics. In this work, we have fabricated the banana fiber reinforced epoxy composites by adding glass fiber from 0 to 20 weight% through hand layup technique. Then, flexural test and water absorption test has been investigated as per ASTM standards and compared the hybridization effect of glass fiber. From the findings, it is determined that, increase in weight % of glass fiber increasing the flexural behaviour and water resistance of the composites.

Mechanical and fracture characteristics of ultra-high performance concretes reinforced with hybridization of steel and glass fibers

Ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC) provides exceptional mechanical and durability properties, but it is highly prone to cracking. Despite short steel fibers have been introduced to UHPC mixtures to mitigate brittleness and improve ductility, its effect on the tensile strength and fracture toughness becomes rather limited. This experimental study addresses hybridization of micro steel and glass fibers, and long hooked steel fibers to improve mechanical and fracture properties of ultra-high-performance concretes (UHPCs). Totally, 22 concrete mixtures were cast using mono and binary combinations of micro steel fiber (MSF), long hooked steel fiber (HSF) and micro glass fiber (GF) at 0, 0.25, 0.50, 0.75, 1.0, 1.5, and 2% by total fiber volume. The UHPCs were tested for compression, splitting, flexure, load-deflection diagram, fracture toughness, and characteristic length. Combined use of fibers suggested the performance order of MSF + HSF, MSF + GF, and HSF + GF on the effects tested. Using hooked steel fibers (HSF) in the hybrid blends seems remarkably promising as it has provided much higher ductility and discernible strain hardening. Using mono-GF did not improve ductility, even showed brittle failure.

Low-velocity impact and compression-after-impact behaviors of twill woven carbon fiber/glass fiber hybrid composite laminates with flame retardant epoxy resin

Composite structures suffer from significant residual strength reduction as a result of invisible damage caused by impacts, which can cause severe harm without any prior warning. Fibers play a crucial role in improving the impact resistance of composite materials by providing strength, toughness, and energy absorption. This work explores the dynamic response and residual compressive strength of composite laminates reinforced with twill woven carbon fiber, glass fiber, and carbon fiber /glass fiber hybrid, subjected to low-velocity impact (LVI) and compression-after-impact (CAI) testing. First, the performance of woven carbon fiber composite laminates infused with flame retardant epoxy resin and general epoxy resin was studied. The results indicated a lower load-bearing capacity and elongation of the former. To enhance the impact resistance of the laminates, we explored the effects of incorporating glass fibers into the woven carbon fiber composite laminates. Our findings demonstrated that the introduction of glass fibers alteres the impact damage mode of the laminates and effectively improved their impact resistance and CAI strength. Further, several techniques were adopted to characterize the corresponding damage morphologies and failure mechanisms of the woven carbon fiber composite laminates, which provides valuable insights for their structural design and performance improvement.

Effect of nanoclay‐cellulose adhesive bonding and hybrid glass and flax fiber face sheets on flax fiber honeycomb panels

AbstractThis study investigated the feasibility of using natural fiber material to create honeycomb cores, as traditional cores made of aluminum, Nomex, and petroleum‐based materials are not environmentally friendly. The natural fiber honeycomb cores were formed using a 3D printed molding process and were bonded to flax and glass fiber facings to improve the durability of the structures. The addition of cellulose and nanoclay to the adhesive enhanced the flexural strength of the structures by 7.43% and 10.48%, respectively, while also absorbing 8.67% and 8.91% more impact energy than structures bonded with epoxy alone. However, the compressive strength decreased by 10.79% and 13.6% with the addition of cellulose and nanoclay to the adhesive, respectively. Tensile properties were also studied, and the tensile strength of hybrid facings was found to be 69.45% higher than those using solely flax facings. Additionally, hybrid facings effectively reduced moisture uptake, making them hydrophobic and reducing water uptake by 46.89% compared to solely flax facings. Overall, natural fiber honeycomb composite structures showed comparable performance to Nomex and aluminum honeycomb composites, offering favorable properties while being constructed using environmentally friendly materials. The efficient manufacturing process using additive manufacturing makes these structures readily customizable and scalable, leading to their implementation in numerous applications such as aerospace, automotive, and marine industries.

The Interconnection of Carbon Active Addition on Mechanical Properties of Hybrid Agel/Glass Fiber-Reinforced Green Composite.

Nowadays, the hybridization of natural and glass fiber has promised several advantages as a green composite. Nevertheless, their different characteristics lead to poor mechanical bonding. In this work, agel fiber and glass fiber was used as reinforcements, and activated carbon filler was added to the polymer matrix of a hybrid composite to modify its characteristics and mechanical properties. A tensile and bending test was conducted to evaluate the effect of three different weight percentages of activated carbon filler (1, 2, and 4 wt%). Vacuum-assisted resin infusion was used to manufacture the hybrid composite to obtain the high-quality composite. The results have revealed that adding 1 wt% filler yielded the most optimum result with the highest tensile strength, flexural strength, and elastic modulus, respectively: 112.90 MPa, 85.26 MPa, and 1.80 GPa. A higher weight percentage of activated carbon filler on the composite reduced its mechanical properties. The lowest test value was shown by the composite with 4 wt%. The micrograph observations have proven that the 4 wt% composite formed agglomeration filler that can induce stress concentration and reduce its mechanical performance. Adding 1 wt% filler offered the best dispersion in the matrix, which can enhance better load transfer capability.

In situ tensile behavior of hybrid carbon and glass fibers reinforced PEEK laminates: Isothermal or fire testing conditions

This work aims at investigating the thermo-mechanical coupling under critical temperature conditions in hybrid carbon/glass fibers reinforced Poly Ether Ether Ketone (PEEK) laminates. Two testing conditions have been considered: (i) isothermal and (ii) fire condition. A tensile loading was applied in homogeneous and isothermal temperature distribution (Room temperature – 350 and 500 °C) by means of a high-temperature furnace to quantify the influence of temperature on the mechanical response and properties. Regarding the fire conditions, a one-of-a-kind bench-scale fire test combining an in situ tensile mechanical loading and a kerosene burner (a flame temperature of 1100 °C ± 80 °C and a heat flux of 116 kW/m2 ± 10 kW/m2) has been designed and instrumented to induce anisothermal temperature conditions. This prototype allows the evolution of various physical quantities to be tracked as a function of the flame exposure time (5-10-15 min). These include temperature, loss of mass, deformation, stress, which are fundamental for understanding the mechanisms brought into play. The decrease of the tensile properties under isothermal conditions is −38% ± 0.6% (axial stiffness) and −54% ± 0.3% (axial strength) with respect to the values obtained at room temperature. The tensile response under fire is similar to the one obtained in isothermal conditions at 500 °C. The creep behavior of CG/PEEK laminates was also investigated with different boundary conditions (with or without a protective shield reducing the delirious effect of flame in terms of damages within the laminates). Compared to virgin specimens, the residual tensile mechanical properties significantly decrease as a function of the flame exposure time (5-10-15 min): 30% ± 1.1% and −55% ± 1.6% in axial stiffness and strength, respectively.

Effect of Alternating Hybridisation of Fibres on the Physico - Mechanical Behaviour of Composite Materials

Abstract The performance/weight ratio of fiber reinforced polymer matrix composites makes them the material of choice for structural applications in many fields such as aerospace, aeronautics, automotive and civil engineering...etc. In polymer matrix composites, the fibers used as reinforcement are mainly synthetic fibers such as carbon and/or glass fibers. To ensure the low cost of using fiber-reinforced materials in motor vehicles, it is proposed to selectively incorporate carbon fibers to enhance glass fiber composites along the roadway, and to enhance glass fiber composites along the main load path. For this purpose, we conducted a behavioral study of hybrid epoxy thermoset polymer matrix laminates to highlight the influence of alternate hybridization of glass and carbon fibers on the physical-mechanical behavior of the materials.The results obtained show that the alternated hybridation of the fibers has a significant influence on the tensile properties; and it affected the density, hardness and flexural properties significantly.

Re-use of jute fiber hybrid nonwoven breather within laminated composite applications: A case study

Jute/polyester hybrid nonwoven mats were developed as an alternative to the conventional nylon or polyester breather to reduce the use of synthetic polymers and associated waste generated during composite manufacturing. However, end-of-life breathers still face the challenge of waste management. In this study, a circular economy strategy for multiple applications of waste hybrid nonwoven breathers was thus proposed to study their recycling possibilities. Hybrid nonwoven breathers were first used to facilitate the autoclave forming of carbon fiber-reinforced plastics, and non-destructive and mechanical tests were performed to determine the quality. The used breathers were then recycled and reused in three ways: directly as reinforcing material and in hybrid combinations with glass fibers and ramie fibers for the production of new composites. Results of quality checks show that the hybrid nonwoven breather is a viable alternative to commercial breathers. The thermal, mechanical, and damping properties of the composites incorporating reused material were investigated. The hybrid nonwoven breather/Glass fiber composites show superior thermal and mechanical properties as well as improved damping properties. The hybrid nonwoven breather/Ramie fiber composites have the advantages of low density and high loss factor reaching up to 0.1572. The product of specific modulus and loss factor was then used as the figure of merit to estimate the structural damping properties of the composites. Both glass fiber and ramie fiber hybrid composites presented a higher figure of merit with 0.86 and 0.83 GPa/(g/cm3), respectively. Therefore, hybrid nonwoven breathers can be adapted to replace synthetic materials in semi-structural applications.

Durability Study of Glass/Carbon Hybrid Composites Immersed in Seawater for Marine Application

The hybridization of carbon fiber (CFRP) and glass fiber (GFRP) composites is required to overcome the disadvantages of GFRP composites and their commercial feasibility for marine applications. This study was conducted on a hybrid glass/carbon composite with a vinyl ester matrix made by vacuum-assisted resin infusion process with a stacking sequence of [GCG2CG2C] s. Composites are immersed in natural seawater for up to 6 months. The maximum weight gain of e-glass/carbon hybrid composite is 0.79%. The results showed that the tensile, shear and compressive strengths of the glass/carbon hybrid composite after immersion in natural seawater decreased to 19%, 13%, and 50%, respectively. The decrease in compressive strength is the highest compared to others. It indicates that compressive strength should be of more significant concern for marine environmental applications. SEM analysis exhibited that seawater absorption causes the matrix, fiber, and fiber/matrix interface degradation. It is indicated by the absence of a firm matrix fracture surface, the number of fractures in the thread, the presence of fiber/matrix debonding, and fiber pull-out in the specimen after immersion in seawater. It is the cause of the decrease in the mechanical properties of the hybrid composite.

Controlled Deposition of Single-Walled Carbon Nanotubes Doped Nanofibers Mats for Improving the Interlaminar Properties of Glass Fiber Hybrid Composites

The properties of glass fiber composites were improved by strengthening the interlaminar regions using electrospun nanofibers mats. However, the chaotic nature of the electrospinning process at the collector restricts the controlled deposition and alignment of nanofibers and limits the use of electrospun nanofibers as secondary reinforcements. Hence, auxiliary vertical electrodes were used, which drastically reduced the diameter of the nanofibers from 450 nm to 150 nm and also improved the alignment of nanofibers. The aligned nanofibers were then used for doping the functionalized single-walled carbon nanotubes (f-SWCNTs) with nanofibers, which controlled the inherent issues associated with SWCNTs such as agglomeration, poor dispersion, and alignment. This process produced f-SWCNTs doped nanofiber mats. A series of tensile, three-point flexural, and Charpy impact tests showed that 30 vol% glass fiber composites reinforced with 0.5 wt% of randomly oriented nanofiber (RONFs) mats improved the properties of the hybrid composites compared to 0.1 wt%, 0.2 wt%, and 1 wt% RONFs mats reinforced glass fiber hybrid composites. The increase in properties for 0.5 wt% composites was attributed to the higher specific surface area and resistance to the relative slip within the interlaminar regions. The 0.5 wt% RONFs were then used to produce 0.5 wt% of continuous-aligned nanofiber (CANFs) mats, which showed improved mechanical properties compared to 0.5 wt% randomly oriented nanofiber (RONFs) mats reinforced hybrid composites. The CANFs mats with reduced diameter increased the tensile strength, flexural strength, and impact resistance by 4.71%, 17.19%, and 20.53%, respectively, as compared to the random nanofiber mats. The increase in properties could be attributed to the reduced diameter, controlled deposition, and alignment of the nanofibers. Further, the highest increase in mechanical properties was achieved by the addition of f-SWCNTs doped CANFs mats strengthened hybrid composites, and the increase was 30.34% for tensile strength, 30.18% for flexural strength, and 132.29% for impact resistance, respectively. This improvement in properties was made possible by orderly alignments of f-SWCNTs within the nanofibers. The SEM images further confirmed that auxiliary vertical electrodes (AVEs) reduced the diameter, improved the alignment and molecular orientation of the nanofibers, and thus helped to reinforce the f-SWCNTs within the nanomats, which improved the properties of the glass hybrid composites.

Mechanical behaviour evaluation of glass fiber and chicken feather hybrid composite

Composites are emerging as new trends in materials industry. A demand in new range of material technology is essential in the present innovative timeline. An attempt is made to fabricate a hybrid composite of glass fiber (GF) as reinforcements, chicken feather (CF) powder as filler and epoxy as matrix material. Composites are manufactured by hand lay-up method. Mechanical behavior are identified through tensile (σT), compressive stress(σC) & Rockwell hardness (HRL) tests. CF are preferred as natural filler material and its inclusion with GF reinforcement gives σT = 180.45 Mpa, σC = 79.5 Mpa, & 72 HRL which shows promising values for moderate load resisting applications. Since CF is combined with GF, the test results reduce compared with composite without CF. This work depicts the effect of CF combination with reinforcement material GF in composites.

Performance of hybrid glass/steel fibre self-compacting concrete beams under static flexural loading

In this paper, it is proposed to study the static flexural performance of hybrid (glass and steel) fiber reinforced M30 grade self-compacting concrete (SCC) beams made with glass fiber reinforcement polymer (GFRP) re-bars. Nan Su mix design approach is adopted to develop the M30 grade plain SCC (PSCC) mixes. Glass fibre SCC (GFRSCC), steel fibre SCC (GFRSCC) and hybrid fibre SCC (HFRSCC) mixes are prepared using the optimum dosages of glass (0.05%) and steel fibres (1%) by volume fraction. HFRSCC reinforced beams of size 1200 *200*150 mm will be casted with steel and GFRB rebars and tested to study the flexural properties such as ultimate flexural strength, load at first crack, deflection at the center, crack width and crack patterns. For the above fibred beams, load-deflection relations will be established. The HFRSCC beam made with GFRP rebars have the load carrying capacity 37.03% more than HFRSCC beam made with steel rebars. The deflection for the HFRSCC beam made with GFRP rebars is 61.52% more than beam made with steel rebar HFRSCC beam made with GFRP rebars increases the load at first crack, ultimate flexural strength, and deflection at the centre at failure and the crack width for same HFRSCC beam made with steel rebars

Stress-strain behaviour of unconfined and confined hybrid glass/steel fibre self-compacting concrete

An experimental study was conducted to investigate the effectiveness of transverse reinforcing bars of self-compacting concrete mix (PSCC) and hybrid glass fiber reinforced self-compacting concrete mix (HFRSCC) grade M 40 under monotonically increasing axial compression. was performed for cylinders enclosed in . The behavior of SCC cylinders surrounded by a circular ring and having different volume ratios and clearances was compared under axial compression. In this work, we present a mathematical model developed to predict the stress-strain behavior of SCC and FRSCC under constrained and unconstrained conditions and validate the model using experimental results. To develop SCC, Nan Su blending method based on filling rate 1.12 and 1.14, S/A ratio 0.50 and 0.57 is applied. The steel and glass fiber usage in the hybrid fiber reinforced SCC mixture is assumed to be 1% and 0.05% of the concrete volume respectively. M 40 grade plain self-compacting concrete mixes (PSCC) and hybrid glass/steel fiber reinforced self-compacting concrete mixes (HFRSCC) constrained to different volume ratios, stresses, strains, elastic moduli, plasticity ratios, ductility ratios, and unlimited strength ratios ) has been evaluated experimentally. The following conclusions can be drawn from the stress-strain diagram: 1) Maximum load-bearing capacity and strain at peak stress are higher for his HFRSCC than for PSCC. 2) The presence of steel and fiberglass increases the strength bearing capacity and allows it to withstand greater loads at peak loads. 3) If the containment is in the form of a lateral ring boundary, the effect of fibers is almost negligible. This clearly shows that HFRSCC has a stronger containment effect compared to his PSCC. The strength confinement factor is lower for HFRSCC, suggesting that HFRSCC offers a superior confinement factor compared with his PSCC.

Development of hybrid composite by integrating functionalized multi-walled carbon nanotubes (f-MWCNTs) with glass fiber reinforced polyester composite.

The current work presents the development of hybrid glass fiber reinforced polyester resin (GFRPs) composite. The composite integrates functionalized carbon nanotubes (f-MWCNTs) with glass fiber (GF) using polyester resin as a media. Hand lay-up method was adopted to prepare GFRPs samples in the form of rectangular sheets. Morphological characteristics of the GFRPs were investigated through scanning electron microscopy (SEM), to analyze the f-MWCNTs distribution and agglomeration of the developed composite's surface due to varying concentrations from 0.0 to 0.5 wt.%. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) were performed to confirm the presence of f-MWCNTs in the developed GFRPs. Sample with 0.4 wt. % f-MWCNTs showed the highest tensile strength and impact energy of 79 MPa, indicating a 31.66% improvement and 1.6 Nm with 77% improvement, respectively as compared to the control sample (0.wt.% f-MWCNT). The same sample also showed the thermal stability till 390 °C as measured through thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). Deposition of extra 10 layers initially increased the composite strength from 40 MPa to 128 MPa, however further increase in layers to 15 resulted decrease in strength to 100 MPa due to the poor interaction between the polyester resin and GF. The addition of f-MWCNTs in the composite effectively strengthens the interfacial bonding, which significantly improved the tensile and impact strength of the composite, making it tougher and thermally stable. However, further increase in the concentration of f-MWCNTs degraded the mechanical properties of developed composite such as compressive strength because of agglomeration of these nanoparticles and void formation in the composite.

ANALYSIS OF PROPERTIES OF DECORATIVE CONCRETE IN ISOPARAMETRIC CONDITIONS OF OPTIMALITY CRITERIA

The article presents two computer materials science methods for analyzing the functional properties of decorative concrete. The method of experimental-statistical modeling is used to build nonlinear structured models that describe the material's physical, mechanical, and technological properties in the coordinates of five factors of concrete composition. The study of the influence of recipe factors on the characteristics of the composite was carried out according to a symmetrical three-level 27-point plan. Depending on the nature of the effect on the decorative composite, varied raw materials are combined into two groups of factors ‒ modifications of the cement-sand system and parameters of dispersed reinforcement. A comparative analysis of the local properties fields of reinforced and non-reinforced material compositions showed the feasibility of reinforcing the cement-sand matrix with hybrid glass fibers. However, based on the purpose of the work – to control the characteristics of a decorative non-reinforced composite, subject to a constant level of one of its criteria, the method of isoparametric analysis was used. The change in the quality criteria of composite compositions was analyzed in two versions of isoparameters. In the first one, all mortar mixes were characterized by the same viability within time  = 1.0, in the second one, all concrete compositions were isosthenic within the limits of compressive strength fcm = 56fcm. For statistical testing of the characteristics of the material, together with experimental statistical models, the Monte Carlo method was used. According to the results of the isoparametric analysis of the functional properties of the decorative composite, it was fairly reliably determined by the area of compromise relationships between the zeolite and the fine-grained filler, however, the coordinates of their optimal amount don’t match according to all criteria. An analysis of the results obtained by this method demonstrates that an engineering compromise between these factors should be sought in the area of their main levels of variation. Introducing finely dispersed zeolite instead of a part of cement is a technologically useful technique for improving the quality and durability of unreinforced decorative concrete.
