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 F...

Abstract Steel Fiber Reinforced Self-Compacting Concrete (SFRSCC) is a material that combines the benefits of self-compacting concrete in fresh state and greater durability, with gains fiber- reinforced hardened state, especially residual flexural strength. Results are presented this paper strengths on 48 prenotched prisms conducted accordance RILEM TC 162 TDF for Concretes (SFRSCC). This artic...

-Concrete has been widely used as a construction material in Buildings and other Industrial Structures. Sufficient research work has been carried out to understand the Mechanical properties like Compressive Strength, Flexural Strength, Tensile strength, Shear strength and Modulus of elasticity. There are many situations in which the concrete undergoes variation in temperatures which will ultima...

The addition of steel fibers into concrete improves the postcracking tensile strength of hardened concrete and hence significantly enhances the shear strength of reinforced concrete reinforced concrete beams. However, developing an accurate model for predicting the shear strength of steel fiber reinforced concrete (SFRC) beams is a challenging task as there are several parameters such as the co...

this paper presents the results of analytical studies concerning the flexuralstrengthening of reinforced concrete beams by external bonding of high-strength lightweightcarbon fiber reinforced plastic (cfrp) plates to tension face of the beam. three groups of beamswere tested analytically and compared with existing experimental results. results of the numericalanalyses showed that, although addi...

the current research intends to study the possibility of producing fiber recycled self-compacting concrete (frscc) using demolitions as a coarse aggregate (crushed red brick and crushed ceramic). steel fibers were used in recycled self-compacting concrete (rscc) to improve fresh and hardened properties of this type of concrete. thirty nine concrete mixes were prepared to achieve the aim propose...

A non-destructive measuring technique to determine the fiber content in hardened steel fiber reinforced concrete is presented. The technique is based on an accurate open-ended coaxial probe reflectometry method for measuring the effective permittivity of the fiber reinforced concrete and on a mixing rule from the classical homogenization theory for deriving the fiber content from the measured p...
