CONCRETE STRUCTURES AND TECHNOLOGY. CONCRETE MIX DESIGN-III. FIBRE-REINFORCED COMPOSITES

FIBER REINFORCEMENTS IN GENERAL ARE DISCUSSED TOGETHER WITH THEIR INCLUSION IN CONCRETE, WATER AND CEMENT PASTE. THE EFFECT OF THE ADDITION OF FIBERS ON THE TENSION AND IMPACT STRENGTH OF CONCRETE AND THE IMPACT AND FLEXURAL STRENGTH OF MORTAR AND CEMENT IS EXAMINED.
