Abstract

The study consists of two main experimental parts. The aim of the first part of the study is to investigate the effects of the straight-short steel fibers and different curing conditions on the mechanical properties of the selected composite specimens. For this purpose, unreinforced (no fiber) specimens cured at room temperature (∼20°C) and the straight-short steel fiber reinforced polyester—calcite composite specimens cured at room temperature and at different curing conditions of 40, 80, and 120°C for 4, 8, and 12 h, have been subjected to tensile tests. In the second part of the study, unreinforced specimens and polyester—calcite composite specimens with straight-short, woven, and three different end shaped fibers cured at room temperature have been tested according to the four-point bending test procedure so as to obtain the effects of the end shapes on the mechanical properties of the composite specimens.
