Conclusions

Model for mechanical response of cement based composites based on properties of the constituents, matrix, interface, and the fiber.

Study of toughening and reinforcing mechanisms.

Aging formulated in terms of fiber strength reductions and increase in interfacial strength.

Development of optimized matrix and interface properties for various failure modes.

Additional work is needed to better define the humidity-temperature-materials property relationship.
