Advanced polymer fibers are used in structural applications as micro reinforcement in composite materials with a concrete matrix. Comparing to other fibers such as steel, glass, carbon etc., polymer fibers behave visco-elastically or visco-elasto-plastically. Such fibers having moderate starting elastic modulus are characterized by relatively large elastic deformations and pronounced Poisson’s effect during stretching.
