Durability of fibre-reinforced cementitious composites (FRCC) including recycled synthetic fibres and rubber aggregates

We discuss mechanical performance of fibre-reinforced cementitious composites under exposure to four aggressive environments, namely alkaline, saline, sulphuric acid and distilled water immersion. A standard commercial Portland cement based matrix is considered alongside its lightweight modification...
