Analysis of the resistance to fire of solid concrete boards with polypropylene microfibers and long curing time

Abstract Reinforced concrete elements with long curing ages tend not to present spalling when subjected to high temperatures since heat transfer in concrete is influenced mostly by the materials constituting its composition. Polypropylene microfiber-reinforced concrete presents more porosity and hig...
