The concrete industry has long been adding discrete fibers to cementitious materials to
compensate for their (relatively) low tensile strengths and control possible cracks. Extensive …

The use of recycled carbon fibers (rCFs) in cement composites is beneficial regarding
strength improvements and environmental aspects. In this paper, we present the addition of …

Electrically conducting concrete, as provided by the addition of a short carbon fibers (0.2-0.4
vol.%) to concrete, can function as smart structure material that allows non-destructive …

This is a review of cement-matrix composites containing short carbon fibers. These
composites exhibit attractive tensile and flexural properties, low drying shrinkage, high …

Cement-Based Composites takes a different approach from most other books in the field by
viewing concrete as an advanced composite material, and by considering the properties and …

A new strain/stress sensor technology was developed, based on the concept of short
electrically conducting fiber pull-out that accompanies slight and reversible crack opening …

Graphene nanoplatelets have unique mechanical, thermal, and electrical properties that
render them ideal reinforcing materials. The attractive properties of graphene have led to …

The use of short pitch-based carbon fibres (0.5% by weight of cement, 0.189 volume%(vol%)
of concrete), together with a dispersant, chemical agents and silica fume, in concrete with …

Carbon fibers can be used to improve both mechanical properties and electrical conductivity
of cement, allowing the preparation of a strengthened and toughened cement that can be …

Cement mortar reinforced by short carbon fibers was improved by using acrylic dispersion
as an admixture in the amount of 15% by mass of cement. The improvement of the tensile …
