Toughness increase of self compacting concrete reinforced with polypropylene short fibers

Toughness increase of self compacting concrete reinforced with polypropylene short fibers

Increases in bending tests by the addition of low volume fractions of Polypropylene (PP) Short Fibers PP. These toughness increases are similar to those attained by Fiber Reinforced Concrete (FRC) referred elsewhere as Engineered Cementitious Composites (ECC), having some ductility and strain harden...
