title = "Investigation on the durability of fibre reinforced concrete (FRC) exposed to marine environment",
abstract = "This experimental investigation presents an improvement on the mechanical properties and durability of conventional concrete (CC) exposed to marine environment using synthetic fibre-concrete composites incorporating Polypropylene fibres. Conventional concrete (CC) as a reference specimen; and polypropylene fibre reinforced concrete (FRC) specimens with various proportions of polypropylene (PP) fibres were cast and exposed to simulated marine environment in the laboratory for 24 months. An accelerated corrosion experimental program carried out to measure the time to concrete cover cracking and anodic current. According to the results, a considerable enhancement on concrete durability in terms of increasing the time to crack initiation and reducing the anodic current for FRC was observed.",
