Abstract:
This research project, which forms part of a continuing line of rheological activity, investigated the effect of introducing various percentages of chopped fibres into a range of concrete mixes. A comparison was made between unreinforced mixes, chopped wire mixes and mixes containing polypropylene fibres.
