Influence on compressive and tensile strength properties of fiber-reinforced concrete using polypropylene, jute, and coir fiber

Journal of the Mechanical Behavior of Materials, 2023
This research work is related to the use of environment friendly materials like fibers of coir, polypropylene and jute in concrete. An economical reinforced concrete is produced by reducing the diameter of steel bar by using fiber ropes. We have examined

Performance of plastic wastes in fiber-reinforced concrete beams [PDF]

, 2018
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 a concrete matrix were investigated through compressive strength,

Corrosion resistance of multiscale polypropylene fiber-reinforced concrete under sulfate attack

Case Studies in Construction Materials, 2022
To study the corrosion resistance properties of multiscale polypropylene fiber-reinforced concrete (MPFRC) when subjected to sulfate attack, two types of fine polypropylene fiber (FPF) and one type of coarse polypropylene fiber (CPF) were selected for ...

Natural fiber reinforced concrete [PDF]

, 2011
The construction industry is responsible for the depletion of large amounts of non-renewable resources. This activity generates not only millions of tons of mineral wastes but also carbon dioxide gas emissions. More building materials based on renewable resources such as vegetable fibers are needed.
