The use of blended synthetic fibers to reduce cracking risk in high performance concrete (HPC)

Creator:

Bañuelos, José

Abstract:

High Performance Concrete (HPC) is used in our crucial pieces of infrastructure, such as bridge decks, due to its enhanced durability and engineering properties. However, HPC is highly susceptible to early-age cracking. Cracking within the first months of a bridge deck’s lifespan can severely hinder its long-term performance and durability....
