Experimental Study on the Mechanical Properties and Durability of High-Content Hybrid Fiber–Polymer Concrete

Polymer-modified concrete and fiber concrete are two excellent paving materials that improve the performance of some concrete, but the performance of single application material is still limited. In this paper, polymer-modified concrete with strong deformation and fiber concrete with obvious crack r...

Experimental Study on the Mechanical Properties and Durability of High-Content Hybrid Fiber–Polymer Concrete
description Polymer-modified concrete and fiber concrete are two excellent paving materials that improve the performance of some concrete, but the performance of single application material is still limited.

The basic mechanical properties of high-content hybrid fiber–polymer-modified concrete, such as workability, compression, flexural resistance, and environmental durability (such as sulfate resistance) were studied by using the test regulations of cement concrete in China.
