Typical reinforcement of concrete is provided using reinforcing bars and macrofibers both of which reinforce concrete on the millimeter scale. Recently the use of microfiber reinforcement has led to significant improvement of the mechanical properties of cement based materials. However while microfibers delay the development of formed microcracks they do not stop their initiation. Crack formation in cement based materials initiates from the nanoscale where traditional reinforcement is not effective. Cracking at the nanoscale has a high impact on the durability of the matrix, for example it can favor corrosion alkali silica reaction chloride penetration and freeze thaw. This research was highly motivated by the idea of “tailoring” the concre...
