For a wide application of carbon-fiber reinforcement in large-scaled, lightweight
construction, mineral-impregnated carbon-fiber (MCF) composites provide a promising …

Polypropylene (PP) fibers are commonly used for reinforcing cementitious composites due
to their reasonable strength, good chemical stability and relatively low cost. However …

This investigation aims to compare the mechanical behavior of concretes reinforced with
polypropylene and sisal fibers. Both fibers were 51 mm long and were incorporated in …

Use of macro recycled plastic fibres in reinforcing concrete footpaths and precast panels
offers significant economic and environmental benefits over traditionally used virgin plastic …

Nanosilica is produced with various methods and each product has particular applications in
the industry. The differences between the nanosilicas are mainly attributed to their …

This paper investigates for the first time the interfacial bond characteristics of polypropylene
fiber in blended hybrid steel-polypropylene fiber reinforced concrete, which contributes to …

The use of virgin and recycled plastic macro fibers as reinforcing elements in construction
materials has recently gained increasing attention from researchers. Specifically, recycled …

In this paper, the effect of fiber types such as steel fiber, polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) fiber,
polypropylene (PP) fiber and basalt fiber, on the creep of concrete after one-year-loading …
