5. Conclusions
The following conclusions can be drawn from the present work on the interface properties of jute-textile-reinforced concrete exposed to accelerated aging: - Double-sided pullout tests performed after accelerated aging showed that the OPC composite system yielded better results for specimens with coated fabric, although at 180 days there was a complete loss of ductility. At 180 days of aging, the matrix and coated fibers showed major signs of degradation, and no typical fiber pullout could be observed due to the failure of the fabric immediately after the cracking of the matrix. At 365 days of aging the specimens could no longer withstand the aging process. The hypothesis is that the aging process became more severe at 365 days for OPC matrix e coated fabric, since a reaction may have occurred between the coating and calcium hydroxide, while in the matrix with metakaolin the pozzolanic reactions consume the calcium hydroxide, leading to an increase in the density of the matrix and thus protecting the fiber and coating.
