Flexural Toughness and Crack Strength of Fiber Reinforced Cementitious Composite

Article Preview

Abstract:

The main objective of this study is to evaluate the flexural toughness and crack strength of a cement-based composite under the effect of using recycled polypropylene (PP) fiber and recycled glass. This research study proves the feasibility of the use of glass as aggregates replacement and PP fibers for composite reinforcement.
