“…PE consists of carbon and hydrogen and depending on the production pressure, there are 2 types of PE as lowdensity polyethylene and high-density polyethylene (Zhong et al, 2018). PE fibers have a tensile strength of 80-590 MPa and a modulus of elasticity of 5 GPa (Hughes and Hannant, 1982).…”

Concrete is an indispensable material for today's construction industry and it is the most used building material globally. Strength and easy accessibility are important properties of concrete. Contrary to its high compressive strength, low tensile strength, brittle structure, and crack formation are problems that must be solved in order to build safe buildings. Today, using polymer fibers to prevent possible cracks on the concrete is the focus of many researchers. In the review article was presented a comprehensive literature review of polymer fibers include polypropylene (PP) polyethylene (PE) polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polyamide (PA), polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), and polyacrylonitrile (PAN) fiber properties, as well as the use of these polymer fibers in concrete. Our purposes in this study were to review, all aspects previous studies of fiber reinforced concrete were compared to determine concrete parameters such as shrinkage and crack formation, compression, splitting tensile and flexural strength, toughness, and modulus of elasticity. As a result, it has shown that the polymer fibers decrease the formation of cracks in concrete and increase durability, mechanical properties such as flexural strength and splitting tensile strength.

“…These fibers can be readily mixed into the concrete using conventional batching and mixing techniques at fiber volumes up to 4%. Polyethylene fibers currently used for concrete have tensile strengths in the range of 80-590 MPa, and an elastic modulus of about 5 GPa, but others have been reported to have elastic moduli in the range of about 15.4-31.5 GPa, similar to those of the concrete matrix [49].…”

Various fibers have been used to reinforce concrete to enhance properties of cement. This review critically analyses the use of different natural and synthetic fibers, the treatments done on some of them to be used in concrete, their strength and weaknesses to be used for such applications. In natural fibers, bamboo coir and jute which have been extensively used have been discussed. Also, the effect of alkali present in cement mixture on the degradation of natural fibers has been detailed. Critical observations such as change in crack pattern, effect of nature of fibers, and the environment in which they are reinforced have been discussed. Effect of use of different sealing materials for the hydrophobic fibers on the ultimate property of the reinforced concrete has been reviewed for various fibers. A comprehensive review of the synthetic fibers predominantly used in such reinforcements-PP, PE, and nylon-has been given along with a critical comparative study of recent developments in the field. The fibermatrix interface studies have been discussed and further research areas have been suggested.
