Effectiveness of treated flax fibers in improving the early age behavior of high-performance concrete

In recent years, ecoefficiency incentives have recently attracted growing research attention towards the valorization of natural fibers in cement systems. Specific attractive features of natural fibers include cost-effectiveness, abundance, renewability, and non-toxicity while providing several functionalities to concrete such as volumetric stability, strength enhancement, and crack control. This study is aimed at leveraging the hydrophilicity, …
