Impact of recycled polypropylene fibers on the density and strength of unreinforced concrete / Hasan Ali Abbas ... [et al.]

Polypropylene (PP) is widely used in the construction industry to produce a variety of materials. Accordingly, a huge amount of waste is produced during or after the construction activity. The PP fiber provides a good alternative solution to enhance concrete properties and more sustainable concrete...

description Polypropylene (PP) is widely used in the construction industry to produce a variety of materials.
