Improvement of Mechanical Properties of Concrete by Using Polyproplene Fibers and Admixure

Abstract:

Concrete is considered a low tensile resistance material and a weak material against cracking. The weak properties of concrete has been enhanced by utilizing fibers to reinforce it. In this research, the effects of the polypropylene fibers on several properties of plain concrete have been studied. It was found that the polypropylene fibers has enhanced the concrete ductility and the concrete crack control. The compressive strength of plain concrete has been increased by adding polypropylene fibers to it and also the flexural and splitting strengths. The best results were at fibers ratio of 1%. When the polypropylene fibers ratio has changed different effects on concrete properties have been obtained.
