Evaluation of the Performance Degradation of Hybrid Steel-Polypropylene Fiber Reinforced Concrete under Freezing-Thawing Conditions by Daming Luo, Yan Wang, Ditao Niu

“…After 500 F-T cycles, as the steel fiber (SF) content increases, the compressive strength and splitting tensile strength increase by factors of approximately 5 and 4, respectively, the flexural toughness is strengthened, and the mass loss rate is reduced by more than 90%. The addition of polypropylene fibers (PFs) has a relatively small effect on the strength of HSPFRC but reduces the mass loss of HSPFRC by almost 80%. …”
