Effect of coarse recycled aggregate with embedded fibres on the mechanical properties and microstructure of polypropylene fibre-reinforced concrete

Previous studies have shown the feasibility of using recycled aggregates in new concrete production. However, the recycling of fibre-reinforced concrete (FRC) introduces a novel challenge: the emergence of a new aggregate type that can be identified as recycled aggregate with embedded fibres. Theref...

Therefore, in this study, in order to investigate the differences, the mechanical properties and microstructures of polypropylene fibre-reinforced concrete (PPFRC) made of natural coarse aggregate, coarse recycled aggregate and coarse recycled aggregate with embedded fibres were compared.
