The company Vetrotex, with the technical personnel and together with the Department of Architectural Constructions and their control (E. U. A. T. M.) have started a serious research on plaster strengthened with E fibre. Conclusions shown in this first article are about the influence of the dispersebility degree of glass fibres in the mechanical behaviour of the compound as well as its workability. The degree of dispersibility of the fibres in the matrix is closely related to the type of covering used in the production of the strengthening fibres.}, number={261}, journal={Materiales de Construcción}, author={del Río Merino, M. and Comino, P.}, year={2001}, month={Mar.}, pages={33–44} }
