CONSTRUCTION
Keywords:
concrete, polypropylene fibers, compressive strength, tensile strength
Abstract
The interest in the use of fibers for the reinforcement of composites has increased during the last several years. A combination of high strength, stiffness and thermal resistance favorably characterizes the fiibers. In this study, the results of the Strength properties of Polypropylene fiber reinforced concrete have been presented.The compressive strength, tensile strength of concrete samples made with 12 mm fibers studied. Polypropylene Fiber Reinforced Concrete is an embryonic construction material which can be described as a concrete having high mechanical strength, Stiffness and durability.
