"[T]he use of fibres (e.g., synthetic, metallic and natural fibres) as reinforcement is reported as an effcient material added into the fibre-reinforced FC (FRFC) matrix... to bridge the cracks... [reduce] shrinkage crack[s], to enhance load transfer and to improve the hardened properties by altering the characteristic brittle behavior [in]to elastic–plastic behavior, particularly, the flexural and tensile properties."
