2.2. Trial program and testing procedures
Six different GFRP waste admixed mortar formulations were manufactured by varying the type (CW or FW) and content (4%, 8% or 12%) of GFRP waste and subsequently characterised. The following notation was adopted: CW or FW accounts for the type of GFRP waste and the subsequent number for the content of waste admixture.Waste-free polyester PMs (W0), were also investigated for comparative analysis purposes. The manufacturing process of PM formulations followed RILEM recommendation CPT PC-2:1995. For each formulation, four standard prismatic specimens (40 40 160 mm3) were casted. All test specimens were allowed to cure (8 h/30 C plus 3 h/80 C) before being tested in bending and compression with equal ageing time after conditioning for 24 h at 23 C/50% RH.
