Effect of natural fibers on thermal spalling resistance of ultra-high performance concrete

It has been established that the addition of synthetic fibers like polypropylene (PP) to ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC) enhances the latter's thermal spalling resistance. The key for this is the thermal mismatch between embedded fibers and matrix as a result of the expansion of PP fiber...
