Strength Properties of Recycled Aggregate Concrete Mixed with Polypropylene Fiber

Abstract:

This research is to verify and propose the practical use of recycled aggregate concrete which is one of the recycling methods of construction wastes. This is because domestic construction industries have been more sustainably developed, and renovation and redevelopment of buildings for increasing the quality of life have been actively performed because the necessity of efficient management of construction wastes has been increased. In addition, the possibility of increased quality focused on recycled aggregate concrete with mixed polypropylene fiber was proposed on this research through material experiments basedon compressive and split tension strength.
