Uniaxial tnion tt wr prformd on TRC pimn with and without th addition hort fibr. Th tr-train urv dmontrat larly th poitiv influn th hort fibr on thir bhaviour undr tnion. For xampl, th firt-rak tr valu wa doubld du to th addition 1.0% by volum diprd hort gla fibr to a TRC plat rinford by two layr txtil. Furthrmor, th nrgy aborption, idntifid by th ara undr th tr-train urv, inrad ignifiantly du to th addition all th typ hort fibr hon for thi invtigation. Howvr, th influn hort fibr on th urv hap dpnd on th partiular fibr typ. Whil th addition diprd AR-gla fibr on th firt-rak tr wa vry pronound, th u th am prntag intgral AR-gla fibr aud only modrat inra thi valu. On th othr hand, th addition intgral hort gla fibr onidrably improvd th tnil trngth TRC, whil th fft diprd fibr on thi paramtr wa l pronound. Firt vry promiing rult wr obtaind for TRC with th addition arbon hort fibr. A rmarkabl inra in th firt-rak tr valu wa maurd vn for a rlativly low onntration diprd hort arbon fibr. Rarh i till in progr and onidrabl xprimntal and thortial ffort ar ndd in ordr to omprhnd th fft diffrnt typ and amount hort fibr in txtil-rinford onrt. A numbr paramtr ombination mut till b invtigatd. Th tting program will b xtndd to polymri fibr, whih ar vry ffiintly ud in Strain-Hardning Cmnt-bad Compoit (Mhthrin 2005).
