On the reinforcement of cement mortars through 3D printed polymeric and metallic fibers (2016, background): “In other words, the materials examined in the present study exhibit large toughness and residual strength in the first post-crack regime [16,17], but brittle response for very large deflections (increased brittleness in additively manufactured Ti6Al4V is frequently observed at high strains, due to t”
Recycled nylon fibers as cement mortar reinforcement (2014, background): “The effect of reinforcing plastic fibers in compression is quite often debated in the literature, since different studies report increases [3,7,8,10,15], decreases [2,9,14,18] or no relevant effects [16,21,25] in the compressive strength of fiber-reinforced concretes and mortars, with respect to the”
Use of macro plastic fibres in concrete: A review (2015, methodology): “Crack Tip Opening Displacement (CTOD) and Crack Mouth Opening Displacement (CMOD) 219 tests are normally used to study the effect of fibres on the post-cracking behaviour of 220 concrete [46].”
Mechanical properties of recycled PET fibers in concrete (2012, methodology): “Moreover, according to Fraternali et al.10, the concrete reinforcement with recycled PET fibers qualifies as a competitive technique for enhancing the thermal resistance, compressive and tensile strengths, and ductility of concrete.”
Influence of matrix flowability, fiber mixing procedure, and curing conditions on the mechanical performance of HTPP-ECC (2014, background): “There are many studies regarding the utilization of recycled plastic fibers in concrete for the purpose of ductility improvement and cracking control [12–15].”
Current Sustainable Trends of Using Waste Materials in Concrete—A Decade Review (2020, background): “Thermal conductivity decreases with increasing aggregate replacement ratio [63,64,80–83] and fiber volume fraction [84,85].”
Green Concrete: By-Products Utilization and Advanced Approaches (2019, unknown): “A comparison study of unreinforced plain concrete and recycled polyethylene terephthalate (PET) fiber reinforced concrete observed marked improvements in thermal resistance, mechanical strengths, and ductility of the latter [174].”
