Force and Slip Displacement of Fibre Cemboard Panels Subjected To Four-Point Bending Test

For many years, fibre cemboard has been widely used in the construction industry. This material advantages, including a long-life span, ease of installation and low maintenance, which can reduce cost maintenance. However, due to its limitation being unable support heavy loads, it is only suitable for lightweight floor system. Therefore, panel introduced. Basically, consists several layers that stack together using special bond mechanism. study aims investigate flexural capacity slip displacement panels with different mechanisms (polyurethane glue, steel bolts polyurethane glue + bolts) spacings (50 mm, 75 100 150 200 mm). The specimens were fabricated size 305 mm width, 1220 span 2@16 thickness. four-point bending test was carried out Universal Testing Machine (UTM) yield force-slip curves.The results experimental testing indicate mechanism an apparent impact on displacement. bonded by have best performance. Meanwhile, spacing found control most than capacity. Close distance may increase stiffness appreciably contributes better optimum 50 while should and100 spacings. hold stress concentration before detachment. When fails, resume function resist until rapture.
