Development of Recycled Polypropylene Plastic Fibres to Reinforce Concrete

Development of Recycled Polypropylene Plastic Fibres to Reinforce Concrete /

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...
