Impact of nanoparticles and steel fibers on the mechanical properties of concrete beams: an experimental study
This study examines the combined effects of nanoparticles (SiO₂ and Al₂O₃) and steel fibers on the mechanical and flexural performance of concrete beams with binder contents of 350 and 550 kg/m³. Eight mixtures were tested following IS and RILEM standards. Nanoparticles showed minimal influence on density but affected...
