Abstract The resistance to flexural fatigue of glass fibre reinforced cement (GRC) stored in water for six years, has been studied. Peak stresses of between 6.0 and 18.2 MN m−2 were used. At stresses of 10.0 and 18.2 MN m−2 the median times before failure were 1.95×105 and 2.0×103 cycles, respectively. At a stress of 8.1 MN m−2, six out of sixteen samples tested survived 4.65×106 cycles. At a stress of 6 MN m−2, all of the samples survived 1.75×106 cycles. An unreinforced mortar specimen was also studied and its fatigue endurance showed greater scatter than the GRC samples.
