Influence of type and dosage of micro-fibres on the physical properties of fibre reinforced mortar matrixes

An experimental study is herein presented focusing the physical properties of fibre-reinforced mortar. A reference mortar mixture was adopted and three different types of reinforcement with micro fibres (steel, polypropylene and glass) were adopted, adding different volumetric dosages, ranging from 0.5% to 2%, in 0.5% increments. The influence of each type of fibre and dosage on the properties of the mixture, including workability, density,...
