Abstract

The addition of short carbon fibers in the amount of 0.35 vol.% resulted in mortars that bonded more strongly to old mortars. The increase in shear bond strength was up to 89%. This effect is attributed to the lowering of the drying shrinkage by the fiber addition. The effect is largest when the fibers were used with latex, which was in the amount of 20% of the cement weight.
