Use of polypropylene fibers to reinforce concrete has attracted widespread attention from both researchers and construction industry because of the numerous characteristics they have, compared to other types of fibers. This paper critically reviews the current state of knowledge of impacting the inclusion of polypropylene fibers on concrete durability. Detailed review on the different durability properties including: Water and gas permeability, sorptivity, water absorption, chloride diffusion, carbonation, and frost resistance. The influence of polypropylene fibers on these properties is discussed in this paper.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
