A Study on Permeability Measuring Method for Fiber Reinforced Concrete

섬유보강 콘크리트의 투수성 측정 기법에 관한 연구

Polyproplyene Fibers have many advantages such as light weight, low cost, chemical stability and duragbility. It has been reported that polypropylene fiber can increase the toughness of concrete and the resistance to crack formation. This study has been performed to investigate the dirability related properties such as permeability and diffusivity of polypropylene fiber reinforced concrete. The permeability and diffusivity were measured with GWT, Poroscope, and electrical conductivity of concrete. From the test result, it is found that the addition of the polypropylene fiber improved the permeability and diffusivity of concrete, when the workability reduction was corrected by water reducer. The relationships between the permeability and diffusivity, and other properties of polypropylene fiber reinforced concrete showed that the tesst results are interrelated each other.
