Synergistic integration of waste fibres and supplementary cementitious materials to enhance sustainability of ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC)

by Ana Baričević

We are pleased to announce that the paper written by the ReWire group entitled “Synergistic integration of waste fibres and supplementary cementitious materials to enhance sustainability of ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC)” has been successfully published in the journal Case Studies in Construction Materials. The objective of this study was to produce UHPCs that meet the requirements of both economic efficiency and environmental friendliness. For this purpose, waste materials, i.e. waste fibres and supplementary materials, were selected. For waste fibres, two types of fibres were selected, namely carbon fibres from production waste and steel fibres from recycled tyres, and for supplementary cementitious materials, limestone filler and metakaolin were selected.
