Description

Ali Uromeihy and colleagues reinforced artificial stone with fibers in two thousand twenty-five. Stone waste from marble and quartzite formed the aggregates. Resin bound the pressed slabs together. Best resin shares were chosen for each stone type. Polypropylene and glass fibers were then added. Identical processing allowed a fair comparison.

Quartzite kept its compressive strength with fibers. Its bending strength trended upward nicely. Marble behaved oppositely under the same treatment. Its strengths fell substantially with fiber addition. Porosity in marble rose sharply as well. Finer marble powder made the mix stiffer and less workable. Powder traits explain the split outcome.
