Abstract:A new method to improve the initial fracture toughness of steel fiber(ST)-PVA mortar by adding 0.1% (by mass) carbon nanotubes was presented.Compared with the blank control group,elastic modulus and initial fracture toughness of fiber mortar by carbon nanotubes are enhanced by 9.05 % and 21.44% after 28 days,respectively.The mechanism for using carbon nanotubes as a reinforcement in mortar is mainly based on its bridging and mesh filling effects.
