- Additional information
- The enhanced energy absorption properties generated by the new approach presented here has been independently and internationally recognised for its significance to ballistic toughness of concrete (Advances in Engineering 2017, https://advanceseng.com/addition-synthetic-fibers-concrete-improve-impact-ballistic-toughness/). The gripping effect produced by the hybrid fibres have also been highlighted for their success in stress transfer under loading ( https://doi.org/10.3390/polym12112624).
