Macro Synthetic Fibres and Pavement Concrete
Macro synthetic polymeric fibres have the potential to enhance the post cracking properties of hardened cement-based materials, besides bringing improvements in other properties such as durability. This article disseminates information on the potential uses of macro synthetic fibres in cement concrete for overlay of pavements and bridge decks.
