FIBRE REINFORCED CONCRETE

Fiber reinforced materials, although established in some applications for many years, have been receiving increasing attention during the past decade. Results are given in this article of a preliminary investigation which examined the effect on the properties of concrete of the addition of polypropylene and steel fibers which have widely different elastic moduli. /TRRL/
