Incorporating fibers to cement-based composites can greatly improve the mechanical
properties of the fiber reinforced cement-based composites (FRC). Specially, the …

The engineering application of natural lignocellulosic fibers (NLFs) has been intensifying all
over the world due to their low cost and abundance, as well as their being eco-friendly and …

The orientation of steel fibers in concrete attracted by magnetized rebar and its effects on
bond behavior between concrete and rebar are experimentally studied. Firstly, the …

The application of vegetable fibers has gained great notoriety as a building material, due to
its availability, mechanical properties and low cost. In this sense, the objective of this work is …

Copper-plated microwire steel fiber is generally added to ultra-high-performance concrete
(UHPC) to reduce its brittleness. In the UHPC, the steel fibers are randomly dispersed. When …

Using precast concrete pipes to develop sewage water transportation systems is important
for kee** hygienic, safe, and sustainable urban environments. This study reviews the state …

The performance of ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC) can be improved by the
magnetic orientation of steel fibers. The reinforcement frame has strong interference with the …

The fracture properties of fiber-reinforced mortar were determined in this paper using three-
point bend tests on notched beams and employing the two-parameter fracture model …

An experimental program consisting in producing and testing reinforced concrete pipes
(RCPs) under the three‐edge bearing tests considering different types of reinforcement was …

To maximize the reinforcement of steel fibers in cement-based composite specimens, both
the orientation and volume fraction of the steel fibers were optimized according to the …
