A Study on the Mechanical Properties of Polypropylene Fiber Reinforced Concrete According to the Fiber Types

폴리프로필렌 섬유보강콘크리트의 섬유형태에 따른 역학적 특성에 관한 연구

The result of an experimental study on the mechanical properties of different types of polypropylene fiber reinforced concrete are presented in this paper. This study has been performed to obtain the properties of PFRC such as slump, Vee-Bee time, compressive strength, tensile strength, flexural strength, toughness and resistance to impact. The test variables are fiber content, fiber types, fiber length and W/C ratio. Polypropylene fibers were effective in reinforcing the matrix. A remarkable increase in toughness was observed by the addition of polypropylene fibers.
