Presenting an experimental model to investigate the effect of changing the dimensions of macro-synthetic-fiber-reinforced concrete on fracture energy

Concrete has a brittle behavior as one of the most frequently used construction materials. Adding fibers to concrete can enhance its ductility and some of its mechanical properties. For this purpose, a laboratory study was conducted in order to present an experimental model to investigate the effect...
