| dc.description.abstract | Engineers involved in construction face various challenges. One of them being dealing with cracks in concrete. Naturally, concrete is weak in tension defining its bristle characteristics. To compensate, fiber reinforcement is used in the concrete mixes. Popular fiber types are steel, glass, polypropylene, and carbon fibers. These types of fibers are used to reinforce concrete. These fibers all increase the tensile and flexural strength of concrete. Additionally, they all have their own advantages. This paper is oriented to briefly introduce basic properties of these fibers. This includes the composition, production, advantages, applications, and restrictions of the mentioned fibers. | |
