Download or read book Development of Recycled Polypropylene Plastic Fibres to Reinforce Concrete written by Shi Yin and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-02-02 with total page 155 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book outlines a methodology for producing macro recycled polypropylene (PP) fibres with optimal mechanical properties and illustrates the reinforcing effects of recycled PP fibres in concrete. It describes the great potential of using these fibres in concrete applications such as footpaths and precast elements. Further, it sheds new light on the environmental impacts of using recycled PP fibres, which are evaluated by means of cradle to gate life cycle assessment based on the Australian context. The use of recycled PP fibre not only helps reduce consumption of virgin materials like steel or plastic but also provides an attractive avenue for recycling plastic waste. The book will appeal to engineers, governments, and solid waste planners, and offers a valuable reference for the plastic waste recycling and plastic fibre reinforced concrete industries. /div

Download or read book Fibre Reinforced Concrete written by FIB – International Federation for Structural Concrete and published by FIB - International Federation for Structural Concrete. This book was released on 2022-11-01 with total page 461 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fibre Reinforced Concrete (FRC) is a composite material characterized by an enhanced post-cracking tensile residual strength, due to the capacity of fibres to bridge the crack faces by means of pull-out mechanism. Due to a better knowledge of FRC and the recent developments worldwide of guidelines for structural design, the fib Special Activity Group 5, who prepared the new fib Model Code, decided to introduce some sections on new materials and in particular on FRC structural design. At that time, working Groups TG 8.3 (“Fibre reinforced concrete”) and TG 8.6 (“Ultra high performance fibre reinforced concrete”) of fib prepared these sections of the new fib Model Code concerning FRC design rules for providing a guidance to engineers to properly and safely design FRC structural elements, both at serviceability and at ultimate limit states, based on the state-of-the-art knowledge. This bulletin was written with the aim to share the main framework used by the two groups to introduce these two sections and to describe the many aspects already known, but not yet introduced in the Model Code. Even though the basic principles introduced in the two sections are mainly obtained from research on steel fibre reinforced concrete, the Model Code is open to every type of fibres, following a performance-based design approach. The bulletin represents a wide effort made by the people of the Task Group 4.1 and 4.2 to trace the knowledge on FRC and aims to be helpful for structural designers when using this new material in the practice.

Download or read book High performance Hybrid fibre Concrete written by Ivan Marković and published by IOS Press. This book was released on 2006 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In the research project presented in this PhD-thesis, an innovative type of fibre concrete is developed, with improved both the tensile strength and the ductility: the Hybrid-Fibre Concrete (HFC). The expression "Hybrid" refers to the "hybridisation" of fibres: short and long steel fibres were combined together in one concrete mixture. This is opposite to conventional steel fibre concretes, which contain only one type of fibre. The basic goal of combining short and long fibres is from one side to improve the tensile strength by the action of short fibres, and from the other side to improve the ductility by the action of long fibres." "In this research project, all important aspects needed for the development and application of Hybrid-Fibre Concrete have been considered. In total 15 mixtures, with different types and amounts of steel fibres were developed and tested in the fresh state (workability) as well as in the hardened state (uniaxial tensile tests, flexural tests, pullout tests of single fibres and compressive tests). A new analytical model for bridging of cracks by fibres was developed and successfully implemented for tensile softening response of HFC. At the end, the utilisation of HFC in the engineering practice was discussed, including a case-study on light prestressed long-span beams made of HFC."--BOOK JACKET.

Download or read book INCEPTION OF HIGH VOLUME FLY ASH WITH HYBRID FIBRE BASED CONCRETE A PERFORMER written by Dr. SS. Asadi & Dr. Vennam Swathi and published by Laxmi Book Publication. This book was released on 2024-01-20 with total page 107 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When infrastructure is built quickly, development occurs. Concrete is the go-to material for construction projects. Manufacturing cement is a significant contributor to atmospheric carbon dioxide. Using carbon-neutral materials like crimson mud or powdered snail shells can reduce cement's carbon dioxide emissions by half. As an adaptable alternative to traditional concrete, HVFA concrete has many uses. Long-lasting and useful in Plain Cement Concrete (PCC) projects, fly ash also enhances concrete's workability. The positive effects of fly ash on the environment, such as lower carbon dioxide emissions, are not new. Adding fly ash to concrete increases its strength and segregation, which reduces its price and makes it simpler to pump.
