By increasing cracking performance, fibers allow to produce concrete pavements with lower thicknesses, but the amount reduction depends on properties of fibers and concrete. In this study, efficiencies of steel (SF) and polypropylene (PPF) fibers in conventional (CC) and roller compacted (RCC) concrete pavement mixtures were studied. Despite the difference in fresh state properties, efficiencies of fibers in CC and RCC found similar for mechanical performance. While increasing cost, polypropylene fibers were found to decrease the environmental impact of pavement by reducing pavement thickness. For both CC and RCC, decreased thicknesses and increased costs were found for SF, but increased (RCC) and decreased (CC) values found for emissions.
