Comparison of Mechanical Properties of Lightweight and Normal Weight Concretes Reinforced with Steel Fibers [PDF]
Engineering, Technology & Applied Science Research, 2018 Compared to conventional concrete, lightweight concrete is more brittle in nature however, in many situations its application is advantageous due to its lower weight. The associated brittleness issue can be, to some extent, addressed by incorporation of discrete fibers.
