Abstract

The study of lightweight cement mortars containing expanded clay aggregate described in this article was conducted to determine the effect of adding fibreglass fibres able to resist the alkalis in cement on the mechanical performance of the mortar. This involved analyzing the following variables: fibre length, degree and effect of dispersion and clay particle size distribution. The lightweight mortars studied are very low density mortars primarily used as fill in different construction situations.
