The primary concern for glass fiber reinforced cement composites (GFRC) is the durability of glass fibers in the alkaline environment of cement. Despite the use of improved alkaline-resistant glass fibers (AR-glass) and pozzolanic materials such as silica fume and fly ash, durability concerns still

Depending on process route, fibers for composite reinforcement typically have some degree of variation in diameter. This paper examines the effect of varying fiber diameter on properties of cement-based matrix composites such as first crack strength, fracture energy, and ultimate tensile strength. T
Impact resistance and strength performance of concrete mixtures with 0.36 and 0.46 water-cement ratios made with polypropylene and silica fume are examined. Polypropylene fiber with 12-mm length and four volume fractions of 0%, 0.2%, 0.3% and 0.5% are used. In pre-determined mixtures, silica fume is
