  • Concrete or mortar formed products containing cement as a main component have compressive strength, durability, non-flammability, and like excellent characteristics and are also inexpensive, and thus have been abundantly used in the architectural and civil engineering fields.
  • these formed products have drawbacks in that their physical properties are basically brittle even when aggregates such as sand and gravel are contained, and they are easily cracked or damaged, for example, upon application of a stress, such as pulling, bending, or flection.

  • fibrous reinforcing material By using a fibrous reinforcing material, the mechanical characteristics, such as bending strength and bending toughness, of a cement formed body made of cement paste, mortar, concrete, or the like are significantly improved.
  • PTL 1 discloses a method in which non-volatile oil is attached to fibers bundled with a resin, thereby enhancing the cohesion of fibers.
  • the attachment of oil to the fiber surface although the cohesion is excellent, the interfacial attachment strength between cement mortar or concrete and fibers tends to rather decrease.
  • PTL 2 discloses a reinforcing material obtained by bundling fibers with a carboxyl-group-containing acrylic-modified resin, thereby maintaining relatively excellent cohesion in cement mortar.
  • a carboxyl-group-containing acrylic-modified resin has high affinity for cement, it has been difficult to enhance the cohesive strength of the resin layer present on the adhesion interface.

  • the amount attached is too large, the amount of the coating agent in the reinforcing material increases. Accordingly, due to an increase in the apparent fineness, the tensile strength of the fiber reinforcing material decreases, and the strength of the fiber tends not to be sufficiently utilized.

For this reason, the fiber material of the invention with high cohesion is particularly useful.
  • the fiber material for cement reinforcement of the invention is configured such that the resin A containing an isocyanate compound as a constituent component is present inside a fiber bundled body as described above, and the resin B containing an epoxy resin as a constituent component is present on a surface of the fiber bundled body. Then, the diameter of the bundled fiber reinforcing material and the fiber length of the fiber bundled body affect the bending toughness of a concrete or mortar formed body. That is, the presence of the fiber reinforcing material increases the bending fracture energy (sometimes referred to as “bending energy”) of a concrete or mortar formed body.
  • the diameter of the bundled fiber reinforcing material is 0.05 to 1.0 mm, more preferably 0.1 mm to 0.8 mm, and still more preferably 0.3 mm to 0.5 mm. It is preferable that the length is 1 to 50 mm, more preferably 5 mm to 40 mm, and particularly preferably within a range of 15 mm to 35 mm.
  • the impact on bending energy and fresh fluidity may also be considered from the aspect ratio expressed as the relation of the fiber length [mm]/the diameter of the fiber bundled body [mm]. It is preferable that the aspect ratio is 30 to 120, more preferably 50 to 80.
  • the diameter of the bundled fiber reinforcing material is reduced, or the fiber length is increased, that is, when the aspect ratio is increased, the total contact surface area of the fibers with cement mortar or concrete increases, making it possible to increase the attachment strength. Further, it becomes possible to significantly improve the bending energy. However, meanwhile, when the aspect ratio is too high, an increased number of fibers break. As a result, when the width of cracks increases, the reinforcing effect decreases, and the bending energy tends to decrease. In addition, at the time of kneading in cement mortar or concrete, a high shear force is applied to the fibers, making it difficult to maintain the cohesion with the bundling agent. Further, in some cases, the bundle is released into single fibers, impairing the fluidity of the material.
  • the diameter of the bundled fiber reinforcing material is increased, or the fiber length is reduced, that is, when the aspect ratio is reduced, the cutting of fibers is unlikely to occur, and the energy at the time of the shedding of fibers can be utilized at maximum.
  • the fiber length of the bundled fiber is too short, or the diameter is too large, that is, when the aspect ratio is too low, the total contact surface area of the fibers with cement mortar or concrete is small, and it tends to be impossible to obtain a sufficient reinforcing effect.
  • short fibers having a small fiber length are preferable, while in terms of improving the reinforcing effect, it is preferable to use short fibers having a large fiber length.

  • the diameter, the fiber length, and the like of the fiber bundled body are varied depending on the application, such as the case where the reinforcing effect within a narrow range where the crack width is less than 2 mm, etc., is expected, or the case where the reinforcing effect within a wide range, where the crack width is up to 6 mm, etc., is expected.
  • this is affected by the attachment strength between each fiber bundled body and the concrete or mortar formed body, especially in a region having a small crack width, long fibers having a large aspect ratio, which have excellent adhesion strength, are effective.
  • the concrete fiber material for reinforcement of the invention has high strength. More specifically, it is preferable that the tensile strength of the fiber bundled body forming the fiber material is 7 cN/dtex or more, particularly preferably within a range of 10 to 40 cN/dtex.
  • the strength of the fiber material for reinforcement is measured after treatments with the resin A and the resin B and before cutting in the length direction.
  • the tensile strength of the fiber material is too low, when a load is applied to cement mortar or concrete, the bending strength of the formed product tends to be low, or the impact strength tends to decrease.
  • the incorporation rate of fibers forming the fiber material for reinforcement of the invention into cement mortar or concrete may be selected according to the purpose. However, it is usually preferable that the fibers are used within a range of 0.01 to 10.0 vol %, more preferably within a range of 0.05 to 5.0 vol %, still more preferably 0.1 to 3.0 vol %, and particularly preferably within a range of 0.2 to 1.5 vol %. Further, in another preferred mode, the fiber material for reinforcement of the invention and an existing fiber material are used in combination. In the case where the fiber incorporation rate is too low, the suppression of cracking and the impartment of strength and toughness tend to decrease.
