In order to investigate the effects of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) fibers on the performance of concrete, such as strength, crack resistance, permeability and chloride penetration properties, experimental research were carried out in this paper . Three types of fiber reinforced concretes with 0, 0.5%, 1.0% volume fractions were designed with the same water to cement ratio of 0.43. Flat band method was used to evaluate the cracking resistance, while AutoCLAM and ASTM C1202 were adopted to measure the permeability of concrete. The experimental results showed that the workability and the compression strength decreased as PVA adding volume increasing. However, the tension and the bending strengths increased for PVA fiber concrete. The number of cracks induced by the shrinkage of concrete was reduced by adding more PVA fibers. The permeability and chloride penetration ascended as PVA volume increasing. However, all the parameters with regards to strength, crack resistance, permeability and chloride penetration for fiber reinforced concrete were more reasonable than those for the specimens without PVA fiber. In additional, a very good correlation between the permeability and the electric flux was found in this paper, that means both AutoCLAM and ASTM C1202 could be used for concrete penetration test.

In this paper, mechanical properties of three series of high performance fiber reinforced concrete (HPFRC) containing 1, 2 and 3% of Polyvinyl Alcohol (PVA) fiber volume are presented. The first series of HPFRC was prepared by using 100% cement, whereas remaining two series were prepared by replacing 10% cement content with silica fume and locally produced metakaolin. All series were designed with water to binder ratio (w/b) of 0.4. The mechanical properties determined in this study include compressive strength, splitting tensile strength and flexural strength. Testing of the specimens was conducted at the 28 days of curing. Experimental results showed that the 3% PVA fiber is the optimum fiber volume to improve the mechanical properties of HPFRC. The variation in the mechanical properties due to the addition of PVA fibers was investigated and presented in the form of mathematical relationship. Further, interrelationship among the mechanical properties was also determined.

This study investigated the combine effect of 0.2 % drink cans and steel fibers with volume fractions of 0%, 0.5%, 1%, 1.5%, 2%, 2.5% and 3% to the mechanical properties and impact resistance of concrete. Hooked-end steel fiber with 30 mm and 0.75 mm length and diameter, respectively was selected for this study.  The drinks cans fiber were twisted manually in order to increase friction between fiber and concrete. The results of the experiment showed that the combination of steel fibers and drink cans fibers improved the strength performance of concrete, especially the compressive strength, flexural strength and indirect tensile strength. The results of the experiment showed that the combination of steel fibers and drink cans fibers improved the compressive strength, flexural strength and indirect tensile strength by 2.3, 7, and 2 times as compare to batch 1, respectively. Moreover, the impact resistance of fiber reinforced concrete has increase by 7 times as compared to non-fiber concretes. Moreover, the impact resistance of fiber reinforced concrete consistently gave better results as compared to non-fiber concretes. The fiber reinforced concrete turned more ductile as the dosage of fibers was increased and ductility started to decrease slightly after optimum fiber dosage was reached. It was found that concrete with combination of 2% steel and 0.2% drink cans fibers showed the highest compressive, split tensile, flexural as well as impact strength.
