| Abstract | ||
| This research produces a new results about using of locally available reed fibers in concrete. The main parameter of this study was the volume fraction of fibers. The reed fibers were added to the mix in percentages of 1, 2, 3, 4,and 6%. The test program included: slump, compressive strength, splitting tensile strength and impact resistance. It was found that the presence of reed fibers leads to reduce workability, compressive, splitting tensile and impact strength. It was also found that, generally, this reduction increases as the volume percentage of fibers is increased. | ||
