Compressive and flexural strength of fiber-reinforced foamed concrete: Effect of fiber content, curing conditions and dry density
TLDR
In this paper, an extensive experimental campaign was carried out to investigate the mechanical strength of fiber-reinforced lightweight foamed concrete, which was prepared with a viscosity enhancing agent that increases the cohesion and consistency of the cement paste at the fresh state.About:
