Owing to their remarkable physical and mechanical properties, the use of polypropylene
(PP), polyethylene (PE), and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) fibers in cementitious composites has …

The coconut fiber (CF) has the benefit of highest toughness among natural fibers. The
abundant availability and low cost make it more convenient for its use in concrete …

Freeze-thaw is one of the major hazards, which concrete pavements have to experience due
to fluctuation in sessional temperatures. Certain measures should be made at the time of …

In this paper, an investigation of the mechanical properties and durability aspects of steel,
synthetic, and hybrid fiber-reinforced self-compacting concrete exposed to early wet/dry …

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 …

Human hair fibers are abundantly available as waste and wave polypropylene fibers are
commercially available. These fibers are studied with limited scope from only material point …

Early-age fracture tests are conducted on concrete beams with discrete steel, macro
polypropylene and blends of macro and micro polypropylene fibers. The fracture behavior …

Fiber-reinforced concrete (FRC) is a type of concrete with added fibers that has become an
interesting material for researchers to study its properties and behavior in a variety of …

In this work, basic guidelines are provided for the design of a polypropylene-based fiber
reinforced concrete (PFRC) road pavement, as applied in an actual testing section resting …

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