Objectives: The purpose of this study was to systematically review current literature on in vitro tests of fiber-reinforced composite (FRC) beams, with regard to studies that followed criteria described in an International Standard. The reported reinforcing effects of various fibers on the flexural strength and elastic modulus of composite resin beams were analyzed.
Sources: Original, peer reviewed papers, selected using Medline from 1950 to 2007, on in vitro testing of FRC beams in comparison to non-reinforced composite beams. Also information from conference abstracts (IADR) was included.
Data: With the keywords (fiber or fibre) and (resin or composite) and (fixed partial denture or FPD), the literature search revealed 1427 titles. Using this strategy a broad view of the clinical and non-clinical literature on fiber-reinforced FPDs was obtained. Restricting to three-point bending tests, 7 articles and 1 abstract (out of 126) were included. Finally, the data of 363 composite beams were analyzed. The differences in mean flexural strength and/or modulus between reinforced and unreinforced beams were set out in a forest plot. Meta-regression analyses were performed (single and multiple regression models).
Conclusions: Under specific conditions we have been able to show that fibers do reinforce resin composite beams. The flexural modulus not always seems to increase with polyethylene-reinforcement, even when fibers are located at the tensile side. Besides, fiber architecture (woven vs. unidirectional) seems to be more important than the type of fiber for flexural strength and flexural modulus.

Interfacial modification has been extensively studied in the realm of plant fiber-reinforced bio-composites, with biomimetic polydopamine (PDA) modification garnering significant attention in recent years. This paper presents a novel strategy involving the one-pot co-deposition of PDA cross-linked with polyethyleneimine (PEI) to modify bamboo fibers (BF) for reinforcing polylactic acid (PLA). This approach enhances the interfacial compatibility between BF and PLA through robust linkages in a convenient, green, and non-destructive way.

This study investigated a dilution system comprising a novel hydrophilic aldehyde-based diluent monomer, N-vinyl formamide (NVF), in combination with a hydrophobic aldehyde-based diluent monomer, formyl phenyl acrylate (FA). The binding capability of NVF to dentin collagen was examined by attenuated total reflection-Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, hydroxyproline release under collagenase degradation, and thermogravimetric analysis. The cytotoxicity of NVF was also evaluated.

To reduce the maintenance requirements during the service life of highway bridges and enhance the cracking resistance of concrete slabs in the hogging moment zone of continuous composite girders, this paper proposes an innovative girder-to-pier joint for composite bridges with integral piers. Compared to the existing ones, this new joint has structural differences. The middle part of the embedded web is hollowed out to facilitate the construction, and the upper and bottom flanges of the steel girder within this joint are widened.

Phosphogypsum (CaSO⋅2HO), as an industrial by-product widely used in the field of building materials, has garnered considerable attention for its mechanical properties. This study explores the effect of magnesium (Mg) doping on phosphogypsum's (CaSO⋅2HO) mechanical properties. Using first principles, it found that Mg doping increases the bulk, shear, and Young's moduli of phosphogypsum from 42.

Pavement humidity warping is a critical factor limiting the application of PPRBAC on low-volume roads. A nonlinear wet-warping stress formula for PPRBAC slabs has been derived based on previous experimental results, and the finite element method was employed to develop a single-board model in order to verify the accuracy of the analytical solution. Subsequently, the finite difference method, in conjunction with the finite element method, was employed to investigate the calculation methodology for wet-warping stress in PPRBAC slabs during service.
