Reinforcing Efficiency of Micro and Macro Continuous Polypropylene Fibers in Cementitious Composites

The effect of the microstructure of hydrophilic polypropylene (PP) fibers in the distribution of cracking associated with the strengthening and toughening mechanism of cement-based composites under tensile loading was studied. Using a filament winding system, continuous cement-based PP fiber composi...
