Improving the performance of concrete using 3D fibres [PDF]
, 2012 This paper examines whether 3D fibre reinforcement can improve the toughness and flexural strength of concrete, when compared to equal dosage of straight steel fibres. This work was carried out to determine structural qualities that may lead to potential

Fibre orientation and distribution in steel fibre reinforced concrete
, 2023 The structural performance of steel fibre reinforced concrete (SFRC) composites, including ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC), is sensitive to the orientation and distribution of fibres achieved during casting. Fibre distribution resulting from a concrete flow during casting is generally non-uniform, biased, and challenging to determine.

Do polymer fibres affect the distribution of steel fibres in hybrid fibre reinforced concretes?
Construction and Building Materials, 2019 Abstract This study investigates the effects of the hybrid use of different types of fibres in terms of their orientations, volume and hybridisation properties on the mechanical and fracture characteristics of self-compacting fibre reinforced concrete (FRC).

Gut microbiome and aging—A dynamic interplay of microbes, metabolites, and the immune system
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Age‐dependent shifts in microbial communities engender shifts in microbial metabolite profiles. These in turn drive shifts in barrier surface permeability of the gut and brain and induce immune activation. When paired with preexisting age‐related chronic inflammation this increases the risk of neuroinflammation and neurodegenerative diseases.

Rheological strains in concrete modified with steel fibre reinforcement
Journal of Civil Engineering and Management, 2013 This paper discusses the rheological properties of normal (ordinary) strength concrete. The results of tests aimed at determining the creep strains and shrinkage strains in normal strength concretes modified with steel fibre reinforcement are presented ...
