Comparative Study of Concrete Reinforced with Polyolefin Fiber

Article Preview

Abstract:

This research aims to analyze the mechanical behavior of concrete reinforced with polyolefin fibers. The intention is to evaluate the possibility of using concrete as a structural material without steel bars in its interior. For this purpose, specimens with different dosages of polyolefin fibers were prepared, and bending and compression tests were carried out. The results show no significant increase in mechanical strengths, especially in bending, but it is interesting in the mechanical behavior after the first cracking. Controlling cracking is considered beneficial for sustainability.
