Natural fibers are eco-friendly, cost-effective, lightweight, renewable, have better thermal
properties and corrosion resistance capabilities. The addition of natural fibers in …

The concrete industry has long been adding discrete fibers to cementitious materials to
compensate for their (relatively) low tensile strengths and control possible cracks. Extensive …

The concrete columns suffer from spalling and flaking in the room and pillar mining method,
which affects service performance. The energy absorption and deformation failure laws of …

Concrete is one of the most widely used construction material in spite of some inherited
issues (brittleness, weak in tension, etc.). A lot of effort has been made to alter concrete …

Recently, the addition of natural fibers to high strength concrete (HSC) has been of great
interest in the field of construction materials. Compared to artificial fibers, natural fibers are …

The coconut fiber (CF) has the benefit of highest toughness among natural fibers. The
abundant availability and low cost make it more convenient for its use in concrete …

Abstract Reactive Powder Concrete (RPC) is a relatively new composite concrete material
type. The development of RPC aims to achieve a microstructural improvement primarily …

Waste fiber fabric has already become an important pollutant source of the world's
environmental problems. If this waste was added into concrete, could the resulting …

Marble is currently a commonly used material in the building industry, and environmental
degradation is an inevitable consequence of its use. Marble waste occurs during the …

Cracking is a multi-level process that damages the concrete structure or cement-based
material. Nowadays, multi-scale hybrid fibres can be utilized in concrete to get more …
