A Study on Properties of Hybrid Fiber Reinforced Concrete's Strength

Abstract

Improvements in concrete's tensile strength, post-cracking resistance, and brittleness are perennial goals in the field of civil engineering and construction. Strong and adaptable hybrid fiber reinforced concrete is being developed using new techniques. Hybrid fiber reinforced concrete (HFRC) is a concrete matrix containing hybrid fibers randomly scattered throughout. The hybrid fibers utilized in the current study of fiber-reinforced concrete were a mixture of steel fiber and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) fiber. Workability, compressive, split tensile strength, and flexural strength of the HFRC matrix were all measured as part of an extensive experimental program aimed to examine the impacts of the aforementioned hybrid fiber.
