Physical and microstructural effects

Micromechanical modelling has been employed to account for the influences of bond. Kim et al. [23] modelled the behaviour of aged cellulose fibre-cement 

A special case of interfacial effects controlling the durability of microfibre reinforced composite is cellulose reinforcement. The cellulose reinforcing unit obtained in the pulping process is of a hoi low cylindrical shape. It is relatively flexible, and depending on the pulping process, it can be rendered immune to alkaline attack. Flowever, upon ageing, two types of changes may occur densification of
