Mechanical properties of concrete reinforced with recycled HDPE plastic fibres (2016, result): “The reported residual post-cracking to peak strength ratios achieved by the HDPE FRC are satisfactory as they reach approximately 50% of the equivalent RL/Fcr strength ratio for steel fibre reinforced concrete and are about equal to the ratios reported for concrete reinforced with PP fibres [15, 31]”
Use of macro plastic fibres in concrete: A review (2015, background): “Another significant benefit is the post-cracking behaviour provided by 67 the macro plastic fibres [34].”
Early age performance and mechanical characteristics of recycled PET fibre reinforced concrete (2016, background): “They measured remarkable post-cracking residual strength and toughness increase, with respect to the parent plain matrix, comparable to the one obtainable with other types of industrial fibres [14], as also confirmed by the deflection hardening behaviour obtained for the highest tested R-PET fibre v”
