Impact and durability properties of alccofine-based hybrid fibre-reinforced self-compacting concrete
Case Studies in Construction Materials, 2023 Many research works have already been made and are still in progress on metallic fibres, as their incorporation reduces the brittleness of the concrete and improves its resistance to the impact and crack propagation.

Influence of Hybrid Fibres on Bond Strength of Concrete [PDF]
International Journal of Mathematical, Engineering and Management Sciences, 2020 Bond strength between embedded bar and concrete plays vital role in the design of various reinforced concrete structural elements. Use of metallic and synthetic fibres has been shown to be an effective method to enhance tensile strength, reduce shrinkage

Large‐scale extrusion of auxetic polypropylene fibre [PDF]
physica status solidi (b), 2016 Auxetic polyproplyene fibres have been produced on a large‐scale industrial extruder for the first time. A first batch of tests identified a coarse processing window which was then more closely defined by subsequent tests. The effects of barrel temperature, screw speed, take‐up speed and quenching (through the parameters of air gap and bath temperature)

Review on flexural performance of reinforced concrete beams designed with hybrid bars [PDF]
E3S Web of Conferences, 2023 Reinforced steel bars, commonly used in concrete construction, are prone to corrosion due to their insufficient corrosion resistance, which ultimately leads to reduced durability and long-term performance.
