In order to apply the fiber reinforced cement stabilized waste construction slurry more widely, it is crucial to evaluate its mechanical behavior under freeze and thaw (F–T) cycles. The mechanical properties of fiber cement-modified waste construction slurry (FCMS) under five different F–T cycles were studied using unconfined compressive strength tests. One fixed cement sample with five different types of polypropylene fiber was used in the FCMS. Using the meso random damage model, the two-stage damage stress–strain relationship of FCMS was established using particle swarm optimization (PSO). The results were as follows: (1) The mechanical properties of FCMS at room temperature and in an F–T environment were significantly improved by fiber; (2) The elastic modulus of FCMS decreased in the form of a power function with the increase of F–T cycles; (3) The fitting results of the two-stage F–T damage model based on meso random damage theory were in agreement with the measured data.

Polyvinyl alcohol fiber reinforced cement-based composites are a new kind of material based on micro mechanics design. It is produced by adding polyvinyl alcohol fiber in the cement-based composites. In efforts to study the mechanical properties of polyvinyl alcohol fiber reinforced cement-based composites, some specimens were tested to examine performances. According to experimental investigation on mechanical properties, the stress-strain relationship curves and failure patterns are obtained. The test indicates that polyvinyl alcohol fiber reinforced cement-based composites have better toughness and fracture energy, and it has superior physical mechanical performance.

Adding suitable quantity of polypropylene fiber is very effective for controlling plastic crack of cement mortar. During the experience stage, adding quantity of polypropylene fiber is 1.5 kg/m3, and crack rate of mortar is only 7.7%. Theoretical analysis is made for plastic crack mechanism of cement mortar, the results indicate that adding polypropylene fiber improves critical stress of crack expansion in mortar and notably reduces crack of cement mortar.

Surfaces of hydraulic concrete conduits where significant abrasion of waterborne sediment can occur often degrade and need a regular repair to maintain their serviceability. In this research, thin overlay made of fiber reinforced cement mortar was introduced as a repair measures. Its resistance to underwater abrasion was therefore experimentally evaluated following the procedures of ASTM C 1138. This research utilized three types of fiber: steel fiber, polypropylene fiber, and micro polypropylene fiber (the micro polypropylene fiber was used only in a combination with either the steel or the polypropylene fiber). The influence of these fibers on the abrasion resistance of fiber reinforced cement mortar was then determined in terms of weight loss. The weight loss results showed that the fibers added to mortar specimens can enhance the abrasion resistance. Between the steel and polypropylene fiber, the latter provided better abrasion resistance. In case of the combination mixes, the micro polypropylene fiber increased abrasion resistance when combined with the polypropylene fiber but had no benefit when combined with the steel fiber.

A series of tests were carried out to evaluate crack resistance and mechanical properties of polyvinyl alcohol fiber-reinforced cement-stabilized macadam, which is widely used as pavement base or subbase composite material. Three series of cement-stabilized macadam mixtures with cement content of 3.2%, 3.6%, and 4.0% were prepared by incorporating four various contents (0, 0.6, 0.9, and 1.2 kg/m3) and lengths (12, 18, 24, and 30 mm) of polyvinyl alcohol fiber. The optimum polyvinyl alcohol fiber content, fiber length, and cement content were determined based on the mechanical properties of cement-stabilized macadam mixtures. Then, unconfined compressive strength test, compressive resilience modulus test, splitting strength test, flexural tensile strength test, drying shrinkage test, and temperature shrinkage test were carried out in this study. The results show that polyvinyl alcohol fiber-reinforced cement-stabilized prepared by optimum proportions (cement 3.6%, fiber content 0.9 kg/m3, and fiber length 24 mm) has good crack resistance. The incorporation of polyvinyl alcohol fiber can effectively improve compressive strength and splitting strength, while its effect on CRM of cement-stabilized macadam is not remarkable. The anti-dry-shrinkage property and anti-temperature-shrinkage property of the specimens are also drastically improved due to the reinforcement effect of polyvinyl alcohol fiber. Moreover, the crack resistance index is proposed to evaluate the crack resistance of materials. The crack resistance of PVA fiber-reinforced cement-stabilized macadam prepared by optimum proportions is improved by 44.4%. Consequently, the mechanical properties and crack resistance of cement-stabilized macadam are obviously improved by adding polyvinyl alcohol fiber.
