TL;DR: In this article, the fracture properties of a self-compacting concrete with low, medium and high-fiber contents of macro polyolefin fibers are compared with a plain self compacting concrete and also with a steel fiber-reinforced self compounding concrete.
148 citations
TL;DR: In this paper, four types of conventional fiber-reinforced concrete with steel and polyolefin fibres were produced on the basis of the same self-compacting concrete also manufactured as reference.
89 citations
TL;DR: In this article, a hybrid fiber-reinforced concrete with steel and polyolefin fiber reinforced self-compacting concrete is presented, and the fracture properties of the composite are evaluated.
87 citations
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compared self-compacting concrete with vibrated conventional concrete reinforced with several dosages of polyolefin fibres and found that fibres were more evenly distributed in the fracture surfaces of selfcompacting specimens and wall effects were more evident in the vibrated concrete specimens.

TL;DR: In this article, a probabilistic model considering the previous research with stereographical assumptions has been performed allowing the use of fibres that can bend, and the model coincides with the most accepted values and represents with accuracy the existence of boundaries.
Abstract: The orientation and distribution of the fibres is decisive in the mechanical behaviour of fibre-reinforced concrete. Several classical models have extensively been used for the case of rigid steel fibres. The increasing interest in structural synthetic fibres that can bend demanded new considerations in this matter. A probabilistic model considering the previous research with stereographical assumptions has been performed allowing the use of fibres that can bend. This paper also provides significant tools for design engineering in order to predict and confirm the number of fibres crossing a vertical surface using fibre reinforced concrete with steel and polyolefin fibres. Additionally, the proposed model coincides with the most accepted values and represents with accuracy the existence of boundaries.

TL;DR: The properties of concrete is universally compatible with any devices to read, and is available in the digital library an online access to it is set as public so you can download it instantly.
Abstract: Thank you for downloading properties of concrete. As you may know, people have look hundreds times for their chosen readings like this properties of concrete, but end up in malicious downloads. Rather than reading a good book with a cup of coffee in the afternoon, instead they juggled with some malicious virus inside their computer. properties of concrete is available in our digital library an online access to it is set as public so you can download it instantly. Our digital library hosts in multiple locations, allowing you to get the most less latency time to download any of our books like this one. Merely said, the properties of concrete is universally compatible with any devices to read.
