Engineering Properties of Epoxy Polymer Cement Concrete Reinforced with Glass Fibers

Previous research on mechanical properties and fracture behavior of concrete reinforced with glass fibers and some results are presented. It is well known that high strength concrete displays a brittle behavior and less tough characteristics than normal strength concrete. This type of behavior can b...
