ABSTRACT: The results of research concerning the properties of fresh concrete (consistency and air content)
and hardened concrete (water absorption, compressive strength, flexural strength, flexural toughness) of hybrid
fibre-reinforced concretes are presented in this paper. Five combinationsof hybrid reinforcement were studied:
short straight fibres (13 mm) and long hooked steel fibres (60 mm) with single hooks;fibrillated polypropylene
microfibres (19 mm)and hooked steel fibres; ...
