    • Preliminary characterisation of natural fibres for enhancement of concrete 

      da Costa Santos, Ana Caroline; Archbold, Paul (Athlone Institute of Technology, 2018-04-24)
      Reinforced concrete with steel is one of the most used construction materials in the world. The addition of short bio-based fibres into the concrete mixture for the production of elements lightly loaded can avoid concrete ...
    • Suitability of selected natural fibres for concrete performance improvement. 

      da Costa, Ana Caroline; Archbold, Paul (2020)
      The addition of fibres to reinforce concrete (FRC) is required when concrete structures may be submitted to other types of stresses beyond the compressive. Post-crack tensile strength, resistance to abrasion and additional ...
