Original Abstract

The results of fracture experiments on fibre reinforced light-weight concrete specimens are presented in this paper. The main aim is the determination and comparison of mechanical/fracture parameter values of a composite both with and without a reinforcing fibres after 200 freeze-thaw cycles. The presence of polyprophylene fibres of two length (38 and 19 mm) moderate influenced the pre-peak behaviour (effective fracture tougness values) and strongly influenced the post-peak behaviour of the specimens (work of fracture values).
