Experimental Investigation on Mechanical Characteristics of Fiber-Reinforced Concrete
Abstract: Concrete is one of the most utilized construction materials because of its excellent compressive strength and durability. Nevertheless, its relatively low tensile and flexural capacities often limit its performance in structures subjected to tensile stresses. To address this limitation, fiber reinforcement has emerged as an effective technique for enhancing the mechanical behavior of concrete. This study examines the influence of chopped basalt fibers on the strength characteristics of concrete through …
