In the last few years, an increase in interest has been given to the use of cellulose fibers as
alternatives for conventional reinforcements in composites. The development of …

Sustainability of building materials is a growing concern, and the use of natural fibres (NFs)
is one way to develop alternative low-cost renewable raw materials. The excellent …

The need for sustainable building materials has progressively increased the interest in the
use of vegetable fibers as reinforcements in cementitious matrix composites. These fibers …

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 …

This paper provides a comprehensive review on the research of coir fibre and coir fibre
reinforced cementitious composite (CFRC) in the past 20 years. In the first part, the …

The construction industry is responsible for the depletion of large amounts of nonrenewable
resources. This activity generates not only millions of tons of mineral waste but also millions …

Fiber reinforced mortars (FRM) are growingly used in several fields of building technology
(eg, façade panels, roofing, raised floors and masonry structures) as building elements. One …

This study investigated the effect of elevated temperature on the mechanical and physical
properties of concrete specimens obtained by substituting cement with finely ground pumice …

This paper reports on a comprehensive study on the properties of concrete containing fly
ash and steel fibers. Properties studied include unit weight and workability of fresh concrete …

In this study, cement has been replaced with a Class C fly ash (FA) in various proportions
from 30% to 60%. Durability properties of various self-compacting concrete (SCC) mixtures …
