Reinforced Concrete Structures Containing Chopped Carbon Fibers with Polymer Composite Materials

In this paper, the reinforcement of concrete combining composite materials with carbon, glass and aramid fibers is discussed. Accordingly, cement specimens reinforced with chopped carbon fibers were manufactured via the retrofitting method and coated using various different types of fabrics (carbon,...
