Abstract

The research presented below examines the use of carbon fiber-reinforced concrete specimens that have been previously tested under compression. For this study, two types of specimens were used: half without the addition of polypropylene fibers and the other half with the addition of 3 kg/m3 of polypropylene fibers. These specimens were tested in two stress groups, one above 15 N/mm2 and the other below this value. The confinement was carried out using four types of carbon fibers, two unidirectional and two bidirectional, analyzing their stress and maximum strain and comparing them with reference tests. The results indicate that confinement with carbon fibers is highly effective for stresses both above and below 15 N/mm2. In fact, the confinement increased the compressive strength compared to the original specimens, which had very low strengths, reaching values up to 15 N/mm2. Finally, the polypropylene fibers demonstrated a greater energy absorption capacity, achieving a non-explosive failure.

Impact and social visibility

From the perspective of influence or social adoption, and based on metrics associated with mentions and interactions provided by agencies specializing in calculating the so-called "Alternative or Social Metrics," we can highlight as of 2025-12-21:

  • The use of this contribution in bookmarks, code forks, additions to favorite lists for recurrent reading, as well as general views, indicates that someone is using the publication as a basis for their current work. This may be a notable indicator of future more formal and academic citations. This claim is supported by the result of the "Capture" indicator, which yields a total of: 5 (PlumX).

With a more dissemination-oriented intent and targeting more general audiences, we can observe other more global scores such as:

    It is essential to present evidence supporting full alignment with institutional principles and guidelines on Open Science and the Conservation and Dissemination of Intellectual Heritage. A clear example of this is:

    • The work has been submitted to a journal whose editorial policy allows open Open Access publication.
