Polypropylene Fiber Reinforced Concrete - A Review
نویسنده
چکیده
Polypropylene Fiber Reinforced Concrete is an embryonic construction material which can be described as a concrete having high mechanical strength, Stiffness and durability. By utilization of Polypropylene fibers in concrete not only optimum utilization of materials is achieved but also the cost reduction is achieved. This paper presents a comprehensive review on various aspects Polypropylene Fiber Reinforced Concrete concerning the behaviour, applications and performance of Polypropylene Fiber Reinforced Concrete. Various issues related to the manufacture and strength of Polypropylene Fiber Reinforced are also discussed. Keywords—Fiber Reinforced Concrete, Polypropylene Fibers, Concrete, Ductility, Mechanical Properties, Durability.

Hybrid Fiber Reinforced Concrete Containing Pumice and Metakaolin
Fiber reinforced concrete (FRC) has been widely used due to its advantages over plain concrete such as high energy absorption, post cracking behaviour, flexural and impact strength and arresting shrinkage cracks. But there is a weak zone between fibers and paste in fiber reinforced concretes and this weak zone is full of porosity, especially in hybrid fiber reinforced concretes. So it is necess...

متن کاملEvaluation of Hybrid Fiber Reinforced Concrete Exposed to Severe Environmental Conditions
Hybrid fiber reinforced concrete (HFRC) consisting of two or more different types of fibers has been widely investigated because of its superior mechanical properties. In the present study, the effect of the addition of steel (0.25%, 0.5%, 0.75%, and 1% of concrete volume) and Polypropylene (0.2%, 0.4%, and 0.6% of concrete volume) fibers on the surface scaling resistance of concrete, depth of ...

This study evaluated the effect of macro steel fiber (SF), micro glass fiber (GF) and micro polypropylene fiber (PF) in lightweight aggregate concrete, (LWAC) beams reinforced with glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) bars. Firstly, concrete mixtures with different volume fractions of GF, PF and SF were tested up to compressive strength, then determine the optimum fiber content GF, PF and SF a...
متن کاملImpermeability Durability of SCC Reinforced with Fibrillated Polypropylene Fiber
The paper has studied the influences of the volume content and slenderness ratio of fibrillated polypropylene fiber on the impermeability durability of self-consolidating concrete (SCC) reinforced with the fibrillated polypropylene fiber, and proposed to use the modified relative permeability coefficient method to evaluate the water-resistant properties of SCC reinforced with the fiber. Also, t...
