Effect of date palm and polypropylene fibers on the characteristics of self-compacting concretes: comparative study

Dounia Derdour, Mourad Behim, Mohammed Benzerara

This article presents the results of a comparative experimental study on the influence of date palm fibers to replace polypropylene fibers used as reinforcement in self-compacting concrete (SCC). Indeed, the use of polypropylene fibers…

Reduction of Cracks in Concrete Slabs by Incorporating Synthetic Polypropylene Fiber

Max Ramos, Edwin Parillo

In Peru, research on cracking in concrete slabs has been limited, partly due to the perception that cracks do not pose an immediate problem. However, their cumulative effect over the long term can compromise structural durability…

Mechanical behaviour of sandy soils embankments treated with cement and reinforced with discrete elements (fibres)

Yasmine Med Bouteben, Boudaoud Zeineddine

It is well known that the reinforcement of the Soil is considered as a solution to its stability problems. This technique ameliorates the mechanical and physical comportment of the soil. Based on this, this research paper aims at…

The effect of using polypropylene fibers on the durability and fire resistance of concrete

Hassan Suiffi, Anas El Maliki, Fatima Majid, Omar Cherkaoui

In order to study the effect of polypropylene fibers on the durability of cementitious composites, several experimental tests have been carried out in the laboratory. The composite was tested with different volume fractions of…

Flexural behaviour of reinforced concrete beams strengthened by NSM technique using ECC

Fady Awad, Mohamed Husain, Khaled Fawzy

Bendable concrete is also defined as engineered cementitious composites because of its great ductility and tight fracture width limitation. ECC mixtures by adding additional Portland cement, silica sand and fly ash, fiber types…
