The Utilization of a Fiberglass Mesh-Reinforced Foamcrete Jacketing System to Enhance Mechanical Properties.

Foamcrete is fabricated by combining mortar slurry and constant foam. Owing to the existence of air entrained in its cementitious matrix, foamcrete is tremendously brittle compared to normal-strength concrete. The addition of synthetic and natural plant fibers demonstrates an enhancement to foamcrete's mechanical performance yet exerts a harmful effect on long-term performance.
