This paper critically reviews the current state of knowledge of impacting the inclusion of polypropylene fibers on concrete durability. Detailed review on the different durability properties including: Water and gas permeability, sorptivity, water absorption, chloride diffusion, carbonation, and frost resistance. The influence of polypropylene fibers on these properties is discussed in this paper.</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p><br><br></p></td></tr></tbody></table><p>&nbsp;</p> ER -
