About this document
Synthetic Fiber Reinforcement in Concrete by Sahir Abas is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The document discusses synthetic fiber reinforced concrete. It describes various types of synthetic fibers used, including polypropylene, polyester, nylon, carbon, and polyvinyl alcohol. The fibers can be microfibers or macrofibers. Microfibers are used at low volumes to control plastic shrinkage, while macrofibers are used at higher volumes up to 1% by volume to improve toughness and crack control of hardened concrete. The document outlines properties, geometry, and chemical compatibility of different synt
