Abstract

This study analyzes the change of the basic characteristics of pavement concrete according to the reinforcement of macro-fiber and the results of the study can be summarized as follows. In the case of the compressive strength of the concrete, the fiber reinforced pavement concrete shows a small decreasing level compared to the basic mixing of pavement concrete (hereafter referred as 'Plain') based on the aging of 28 days. In particular, the polypropylene fiber made in Korea represents a decrease in the strength about 12% compared with that of the Plain. In the case of the tensile strength, it shows certain improvements in the tensile performance compared with that of the Plain. In particular, in the case of the polyvinyl alcohol fiber that shows the largest improvement in tensile performance, it shows an increase in its strength about 21%. In the case of the bending strength, there are no improvements in its strength in the fiber reinforced concrete compared to that of the Plain.
