The use of hybrid short fibers in a suitable combination as reinforcement for cement based
materials has attracted widespread attention because of their benefits compared to mono …

This paper highlights the physical and chemical surface modifications of plant fibre (PF) for
attaining suitable properties as reinforcements in cementitious composites. Untreated PF …

Fiber reinforced concrete is a cementitious composite material with a dispersed
reinforcement in a form of fibers. Polypropylene fibers can be divided into microfibers and …

Green concrete composite produced from Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) fibers may be
considered an important issue in sustainable construction. Therefore, the behavior of self …

Due to constant growth of waste production, recent strategies in waste management such as
circular economy promote the maximum life cycle use of materials. In construction industry …

Multi-layered Prepacked aggregate fibrous composite (MLPAFC) is a new type of concrete,
which is prepared in two subsequent stages of aggregate-fibre skeleton prepacking and …

Synthetic plastics are typically discarded, thus causing environmental pollution. Plastic
wastes are recycled as fiber in concrete to solve this problem. In this study, synthetic fibers in …

The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the mechanical properties of normal concrete (NC)
containing polyethylene terephthalate waste fibers (PETWF). In addition to check the …

The aim of this paper is to find out new alternative materials that respond to sustainable
development criteria. For this purpose, an original utilization of straw for the design of …

It is well established that concrete breaks easily when subjected to tensile loading.
Randomly oriented short discrete fibres that stop or control the start, spread, or coalescence …
