“…However, corrosion of steel fibres can be detrimental and lead to rapid deterioration of concrete structures [7]. Glass fibre has an excellent strengthening effect [8] but poor alkali resistance [9]. Natural fibres, such as wood [10], sisal [11], coconut [12], sugarcane bagasse [13], palm [14], and vegetable fibres [15], are cheap and easily available, but they have poor durability.…”

Use of macro plastic fibres to reinforce concrete has attracted widespread attention from both scientists and construction industry due to the multiple sustainability benefits they offer, compared to steel fibres and steel reinforcing mesh. This paper critically reviews the current state of knowledge and technology of using macro plastic fibres to reinforce concrete. Detailed review on the various preparation techniques and the resulting properties of macro plastic fibres are presented and the effects of macro plastic fibres on the fresh and hardened concrete properties are discussed in this paper. The effect of macro plastic fibres on workability, plastic shrinkage, compressive strength, splitting tensile strength, flexural strength, post-crack performance and dry shrinkage is discussed in this paper. Pull-out behaviour and degradation behaviour of the fibre in the concrete are also reviewed. Finally, some applications of the plastic fibre reinforced concrete are discussed.

In the 1940's, potential of glass as a construction material was realized and improvement continued with the addition of zirconium dioxide in 1960's for harsh alkali conditions. To enhance durability of materials, new generation of glass fibres directed to improvement process. In this way, glass fibre reinforced concrete (GFRC) was started to produce for the satisfaction of different demands. Scientific studies and tests on the GFRC have shown that the physical and mechanical properties of the GFRC change depending on the quality of the materials and the accuracy of the production methods. GFRC can be used wherever a light, strong, fire resistant, weather resistant, attractive, impermeable material is needed. As technology advances, it is possibly expected to build the whole building and complex freeform with low cost. In recent years, the effect of glass fibres in hybrid mixtures has been investigated for high-performance concrete (HPC), an emerging technology termed, which has become popular in the construction industry.

“…The investigations that utilized accelerated aging techniques report concerns about the durability of glass-based fibers in concrete. Significant amounts of degradation and strength loss have been found, especially under high temperature and aggressive chemical environments [ 92 , 93 , 94 ]. The past studies sparked major concerns in the concrete industry about the level of safety provided by the structures that use GFRP, as primary reinforcement.…”

State-of-the-Art Review of Capabilities and Limitations of Polymer and Glass Fibers Used for Fiber-Reinforced Concrete

The concrete industry has long been adding discrete fibers to cementitious materials to compensate for their (relatively) low tensile strengths and control possible cracks. Extensive past studies have identified effective strategies to mix and utilize the discrete fibers, but as the fiber material properties advance, so do the properties of the cementitious composites made with them. Thus, it is critical to have a state-of-the-art understanding of not only the effects of individual fiber types on various properties of concrete, but also how those properties are influenced by changing the fiber type. For this purpose, the current study provides a detailed review of the relevant literature pertaining to different fiber types considered for fiber-reinforced concrete (FRC) applications with a focus on their capabilities, limitations, common uses, and most recent advances. To achieve this goal, the main fiber properties that are influential on the characteristics of cementitious composites in the fresh and hardened states are first investigated. The study is then extended to the stability of the identified fibers in alkaline environments and how they bond with cementitious matrices. The effects of fiber type on the workability, pre- and post-peak mechanical properties, shrinkage, and extreme temperature resistance of the FRC are explored as well. In offering holistic comparisons, the outcome of this study provides a comprehensive guide to properly choose and utilize the benefits of fibers in concrete, facilitating an informed design of various FRC products.
