Abstract: Foam concrete is widely used in situations where toughness is crucial. Adding polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) fibers is a common way to make foam concrete stronger and tougher. However, these fibers show extremely high bond strength ...

Abstract: Fibers are added to foam concrete to improve its mechanical properties. Despite several studies about the performance of fiber-reinforced foam concretes, the mechanism of fiber reinforcement in foam concretes is not ...
