Abstract:
Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) fibers have emerged as a promising additive in concrete technology, helping to improve various mechanical and durability properties. This comprehensive review examines the effects of incorporating PVA Fibers into concrete mixtures, discussing their properties, manufacturing processes, and various applications in the construction industry. Discussion includes the effects of PVA fibers on the fresh and hardened properties of concrete, their role in preventing cracks, and the potential environmental benefits associated with their use. Additionally, challenges and future prospects are highlighted to guide further research and development in this field.
