Experimental Study of the Thermal and Dynamic Behaviors of Polypropylene Fiber-Reinforced Concrete

The wide use of high-performance concrete (HPC) makes it essential to study its dynamic and thermal behavior. In this study, polypropylene fiber-reinforced high-performance concrete was developed and a series of tests were carried out to obtain its mechanical and thermal properties. Since high-stren...
