Macro fibers reinforcement is considered to be an effective way to improve the flexural toughness of the concrete. With growing public interest in the wide-spread use of fiber reinforced concrete (FRC), the need for understanding and evaluating micro fiber reinforcement mechanism is on the rise. In this study, concretes were reinforced by various dopant amounts of macro polypropylene (PP) fiber or steel fiber (...
Textile mesh-reinforced concrete (TRC) and mortar have been studied in recent years. However, current testing methods are focused on simply supported members under uniaxial bending; these are inadequate for analysis of a biaxially tensioned fibre mesh and incapable of revealing the biaxial behaviour of a TRC panel. Moreover, the fibres can be damaged by the alkalinity of concrete. To overcome this inadequacy, a...
