Effect of recycled steel fibers on the mechanical strength and impact toughness of precast paving blocks

Effect of recycled steel fibers on the mechanical strength and impact toughness of precast paving blocks

Owing to high density, concrete paving blocks (CPB) are highly brittle when subjected to occasional impact loads. Fractures in CPB create riding discomfort and increase maintenance costs. This issue demands the engineering design of CPB suitable for occasional dynamic loadings. Therefore, this study...
