Fibers are essential in reinforcing the mechanical properties of ultra-high performance
concrete (UHPC), particularly the tensile and flexural strength. This paper conducts a …

In recent years, basalt fiber (BF) has been extensively used as a reinforced fiber to improve
the mechanical properties and durability of concrete because of its excellent mechanical …

Geopolymer concrete is produced from the geopolymerization process, in which molecules
known as oligomers integrate to form geopolymer networks with covalent bonding. Its …

Owing to growing environmental awareness, significant attention is being focused on plant
fibers as inexpensive alternatives to polymeric fibers. Plant fibers used in concrete are eco …

In this study, the pattern of the effect of hybrid basalt fibers (BF) and polyvinyl alcohol fibers
(PVAF) on low-heat Portland cement (LHPC) concrete was investigated through mechanical …

Rapid chloride migration (RCM) test was used to determine the non-steady-state chloride
migration coefficient (D RCM) of concrete mixed with calcium sulfate whisker (CSW) and …

A comprehensive manual review of the use of slag and fly ash in engineered cement-based
composites (ECBCs) was conducted. The extensive use of supplementary cementitious …

Concrete, a widely used construction material, exhibits inherent brittleness and limited
tensile strength. To address these shortcomings, the incorporation of fibers has gained …

Making lightweight soil with bubbles from raw soil and cement, ie, foamed lightweight soil
(FLS), is an environmentally sustainable way to utilize tailings sand (TS) as a replacement of …

The mechanical properties of ceramic fiber reinforced concrete (CRFRC) with different
strength grades (C30, C50 and C80) under impact load were studied, and the strengthening …
