Influence of Synthetic Fibers on the Flexural Properties of Concrete: Prediction of Toughness as a Function of Volume, Slenderness Ratio and Elastic Modulus of Fibers
(MDPI, 2023)
Acceso abierto
The construction industry requires concrete with adequate post-cracking behavior for applications such as tunnels, bridges, and pavements. For this reason, polypropylene macrofibers are used, which are synthetic fibers ...
Experimental Volume Incidence Study and the Relationship of Polypropylene Macrofiber Slenderness to the Mechanical Strengths of Fiber-Reinforced Concretes
(MDPI, 2022)
Acceso abierto
An experimental study was conducted to examine the mechanical strengths of concretes with straight high-strength knurled polypropylene macrofibers. Incidences of concrete mechanical strengths were determined for three ...
Determination of Polypropylene Fiber-Reinforced Concrete Compressive Strength and Elasticity Modulus via Ultrasonic Pulse Tests
(MDPI, 2022)
Acceso abierto
Compressive strength and elasticity modulus are the main mechanical properties of concrete. The non-destructive ultrasound pulse test can be used to determine these properties without compromising the structure’s integrity. ...
