Abstract

Monofilament fibers have emerged as a promising additive for concrete, offering significant improvements in strength, durability, and resistance to cracking and degradation. The primary Objective of this research is to provides an overview of the properties and applications of monofilament fibers in concrete, highlighting their benefits and potential uses. The effects of monofilament fibers on concrete's mechanical properties, such as tensile strength, flexural strength, and impact resistance, are discussed. Additionally, the research explores the role of monofilament fibers in reducing shrinkage cracking, improving thermal cracking resistance, and enhancing fatigue performance. Sustainability of concrete is affected by cracks which are proved to be detrimental for durability properties they tend to propagate under the influence of loads and result in entry of aggressive agents from surrounding environment. Monofilament fiber in concrete act as crack arrester along with altering the fresh and hardened properties due to improper packing and dispersion issues which has adverse effect on concrete.Finally, the abstract highlights the significance of continued research and development in this field to unlock the full potential of monofilament fibers in advancing the performance and sustainability of concrete structures.
