Abstract
Polypropylene fibers are extensively used in civil engineering applications for many years. These fibers are used in concrete as a three-dimensional secondary reinforcement. Due to adhesion between polypropylene fibers and bitumen, the strengthening mechanism in asphalt concrete is somehow different.
