What is it about?

Short wire staples, ranging from 0% to 3Previously proposed spacing equations for steel fibers and the effects of fiber volume on the physical and mechanical properties of the composites were analyzed. .5% by volume, were used to reinforce high-volume fly-ash cement paste.

Why is it important?

The lack of research data on spacing, Vf, and FRI in HVFA cement paste composites provided the rationale for this study.

Perspectives

The staple wire was used in cement paste composites to manufacture ecological building materials for civil engineering construction works and to improve the compressive and flexural strength. When compared with steel or polypropylene fiber, staple fiber has relatively lower cost, ease of the dispersion in the cement paste and produce higher strength.
